- Belvedere is a central open space within East Village, originally designed for the 2012 Olympics.
- The new vision reimagines Belvedere as an evocative play garden with a modern English garden aesthetic.
- It aims to be inclusive, biodiverse, and community-focused, integrating play, greenery, and social spaces.
