Kirwan Park

When our partners at Stantec approached us for the Kirwan Park project, they had a vision far more ambitious than simple traditional rectangular shade sails. Their goal was to create uniquely aesthetic pieces that would stand out for their innovative design and functionality. Kirwan Park thus became a true masterpiece in urban design, featuring three different types of Shade Systems solar sails, each carefully chosen to meet specific needs while adding a touch of elegance to the overall layout.

The first type of sail installed is a set of offset rectangles, strategically placed near the players’ benches. This arrangement maximizes ground space, providing an optimal shaded area without cluttering the play area. These shelters are not only practical but also add a modern and sophisticated aesthetic dimension to the park.

The second type of solar sail, known as Tornado, is located near the water play area. These shelters are designed to protect bathers from the sun’s rays while adding a touch of style and dynamism to the aquatic space. Their unique design and strategic location make them essential elements for those who wish to cool off while staying in the shade.

The centerpiece of this layout is undoubtedly the custom multi-level offset quad solar shelter. These grand sails stand out for their complex design and arrangement of different levels and colors. In terms of coverage relative to ground footprint, this shelter is undoubtedly one of the most impressive in the industry. It constitutes a true flagship piece of furniture, attracting attention and offering exceptional sun protection.

In addition to these innovative shade sails, we also provided a Trekfit outdoor training area, featuring a bamboo climber. This installation is designed to encourage physical activity and offer an outdoor fitness space for park visitors. The bamboo climber, with its natural design and robust structure, fits perfectly into the park’s environment, offering a stimulating challenge for sports enthusiasts of all levels.

In short, the Kirwan Park project is a remarkable example of what a visionary collaboration between committed partners and innovative designers can achieve. Every element of this layout has been thought out to create a functional, aesthetic, and welcoming space, meeting the varied needs of visitors while showcasing the potential of creativity in shade sails.
