La Pastora Natural Reserve Park + La Silla Riparian Park

Regenerando un pulmón arquitectónico a través de un hito urbano olvidado

El gran Parque Ecológico Río La Silla, anteriormente conocido como Parque La Pastora, nació como parte de los proyectos de compensación ambiental para el Estadio BBVA. Esto implicó la renovación, mantenimiento y gestión de un hito urbano olvidado que había estado cerrado por más de 18 años.

El antiguo Parque La Pastora, ubicado al pie del Cerro de la Silla, era considerado una barrera natural y un foco de inseguridad. Ahora, es una conexión urbana llena de diversidad vegetal y animal. Este nuevo parque forestal urbano cubre 20 hectáreas y sigue 13 km a lo largo del Río La Silla, convirtiéndose en el área verde intervenida más grande de la ciudad.

El ahora Gran Parque Ecológico Río La Silla busca redefinir la relación entre el parque y su entorno, valorando el ecosistema de Monterrey como un patrimonio ambiental y cultural.

Innovative elements in the landscape

Preserve, Recycle, Enhance, Reforest

The architectural project was based on the restoration and recovery of a natural space that had suffered significant deterioration. The main design ideas were to preserve the architectural structure of the park by maintaining the existing circulation system, the configuration of gathering spaces, and the internal hydrological system; recycle materials and resources; enhance the legibility of the park by facilitating user orientation; and reforest deforested areas with native species.

Located at the foothills of Cerro La Silla and adjacent to the river of the same name, the only living river in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, it has become a sports and cultural landmark that allows Monterrey football to actively participate in the ecological, social, and economic development of the State of Nuevo León.

Connecting Urban Green Spaces

Situated along 13 kilometers, the Linear Ecological Park spans over 130 hectares, serving as a crucial link between 5 public parks in the city. This initiative aims to protect natural resources, promote environmental education, and foster healthy outdoor activities. Notably, it strengthens ecological resilience by restoring riverbanks with native vegetation and implementing stormwater management systems. Furthermore, the park's design encourages community engagement and appreciation for nature, offering recreational areas and educational opportunities.

Sustainable Development

This project encompasses a range of sustainability objectives, including job creation and long-term ecological preservation. By planting over 2,000 trees of native species and restoring a 25-hectare forest area, it contributes to biodiversity conservation and mitigates the effects of climate change. Additionally, the initiative celebrates the region's cultural heritage by preserving historical landmarks and integrating them into the park's design. Overall, the Linear Ecological Park represents a holistic approach to urban planning, balancing environmental conservation, social well-being, and economic growth.

Process

The park is developed through the regeneration of the riverbanks, which were carefully restored to adapt to the natural channel and topography, removing additional soil and rocks that had buried the existing century-old trees. Additionally, a "floodable" multipurpose path was provided along both boundaries for pedestrians and cyclists, equipped with basic urban furniture.

This transformation made it a key piece of public parkland, adding to 12 existing parks and 40 neighborhoods in a low-income municipality, providing them with connectivity, sustainable mobility, recreation, and exercise opportunities.

This has resulted in an open and natural space that has improved the quality of life for residents by integrating their daily routines with this linear riverside park.
