Noerrebro is characterized by traditional blocks of housing bisected by two major transportation arteries: Bispeengbuen and an elevated railway.

Noerrebro Park is a remnant of the railway terrain that was formerly here. The place still bears the imprint of the many tracks that lie here side by side, and you could say that it reminds you of the train crossing through.

The proposal for a new park layout aims to recreate the significance of this site, focusing on tempo and dynamics. It is a multi-functional park where the multicultural Noerrebro may meet or pass.

Thus, the four main tracks in the Park are different in function, size, and partly through material. The proposal divides the park from west to east into: "the regional bike path", "Promenade", "the middle seat track", and "the asphalt paved multi-track".
