Hay Park North Pavilion Visual Story

1. Arrival and Parking

Hay Park North Pavilion is constructed with brick and metal cladding, featuring a steeply pitched metal roof. The building is elevated with concrete steps and has handrails on both sides. Surrounding the pavilion are wide, flat concrete pathways that connect to adjacent bitumen car parks. There are a total of six accessible car parking spaces marked with blue signage and separated by yellow bollards and striped zones. Three are located at one end of the building whilst the other three are located at the other end. Established gum and wattle trees provide shade near the building and along the pathways. The pavilion is positioned between two sports fields, with fencing and open grass areas around it.

The space is used for sports events and gatherings, with activity levels increasing during games or weekends. Visitors may hear sounds of sports play and vehicles in the car parks. The area may have natural scents from the surrounding trees and grass. The concrete and bitumen surfaces feel firm and flat underfoot, with tactile tiles near the building entrance. Benches are available near the pavilion and along pathways for resting. The open fields and shaded areas create a mix of sun and shadow throughout the day.
