    Mill 180 Park is truly a park for the 2lst century, designed to copy all of the great urban parks -Central Park in New York City, Hyde Park in London and Ueno Park in Tokyo. Through the use of computerized sound and some other modern systems, we've brought the outside in, surrounding our visitors with green space and a remarkable sense of the natural world.

    We spent a lot of time trying to learn why these parks are so beloved, what makes them work so well for their sponsors, and how they provide a place of rest for so many.

A wake up call for the senses

    These parks are beautiful. They provide much needed relief from the daily stress of city living in any particular moment. But with the good, every one of these parks suffer from the same shortcoming-they are not fit to live when the weather is bad. What this means is that our parks are only really available to us some of the time.

Change in the air

    Enjoying Mill 180 Park is not weather dependent. We used modern building techniques and technology to create a park that can be enjoyed in every season, during every type of weather.

Our focus

    While imagining the possibilities for Mill 180 Park, we focused our design process on five characteristics that were common in all of our favorite urban parks:

BEAUTY: Including natural and man-made qualities, delighting the senses of visitors.

GREENERY: Bringing nature to the city, with a variety of plants and green spaces.

MINGLING: Providing a place for people who wouldn't normally come into contact to meet and share experiences.

TRANQUILITY: Offering a place away from the noise, waste, and excitement of city life.

PROGRAMMING: Serving as a site for artistic, cultural, and amusement events that bring the community together.

    When you visit, you'll be aware on an intellectual level that you are not in an expansive outdoor space, but your senses will tell you otherwise.

Opening time and price

All months of the year.

Admission is free from Jan .I to Nov.30.
