Since the project, the park is entirely designed to cause minimal damage to the environment. A walkway that provides access to its main buildings, with 500 meters long, is wholly suspended, to avoid impact on the ground, the windows of the buildings are large, to privilege the use of sunlight, and even the curtains are made of recycled paper.


In fact, this kind of creation can be learned in one of the many workshops offered weekly and free. One teaches to transform recyclable material, the cardboard "pet" of soda in crafts such as artificial potted plants, "origami" frame.
