The Rock 07 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Back in the day, Triangle Park looked like this Then about a year ago we saw this The Link And straight out of the sixties is this... Hopefully those are bad renderings because I like the concept of the underground retail and the fountains but how it is shown in the renderings just looks awful. The ramp to nowhere???

HellOnICE Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 A lot of people park there for games, it may not be worth the money/convenience to have it as a park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilNurn Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 As an architecture student myself, I'm totally digging the rendered installation. Wonder what they'll actually end up doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastonealive Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 The ramp-y thing reminds me a little of Millennium Park in Chicago. I'm wondering if it'll ever actually happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that its just a bad rendering. But I don't understand the ramp to nowhere in front of Mulberry Street though. Shouldn't there be a way down to the street from there?

Thats what I thought of too, and I love Millennium Park. Hopefully this ends up looking like that. The new design of Triangle Park doesn't seem to encourage building around it though with the ramps budding up to the edge of the park.

oat77 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 One possible bright spot. In this picture it looks like the ramp goes up to the main concourse level. If there was an exit from there, that would be awesome. But in another picture it doesn't seem to actually touch The Rock, so I don't know whats goin on.

Vic Rattlehead18 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'm thinking that ramp to nowhere is for people to stand/sit and watch that big stupid screen. Maybe they'll do that for away playoff games like other teams do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlman Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Why do we need a park there anyway? to attract Newark's homeless? talk about a dumb idea and a waste of money...plus, a waste of parking spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv4Life Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Why do we need a park there anyway? to attract Newark's homeless? talk about a dumb idea and a waste of money...plus, a waste of parking spots. Penn Station already attracts the homeless. Make 'em take the train. Surface lots just bring about a bad vibe. Besides, there's already enough parking around there anyway and garages should replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 It's nice to finally see SOMETHING on this. I like and dislike the fountain pond in the middle. Dislike because hockey is a winter sport so a fountain is pretty useless most of the season. Like because, if done right, it could mean pond hockey before games instead of the street hockey they have on Market Street. Doubt it happens, but it would be pretty severely awesome if it did.

newarkdev01 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Are these projections the current plan or just one of the firms that presented a plan for the DEVS/NHA. At this point I will wait till the city/NHA/Devils complete their rental dispute before thinking you will have a park. I don't see the city/NHA using emminent domain to take Edison parking's land and I can't see them giving up up prime real estate without a hefty payday.

newarkdev01 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 from what I read, the original price to build the rock also included construction for triangle park The problem was that the land swaps were never completed and everything I have seen still says that land is still owned by Edison Parking. If that is the case Edison will want top dollar to give up prime parking space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rock 07 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) *UPDATE* Note LeBron on the video screen. Looks MUCH better than the original Edited June 27, 2010 by The Rock 07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oat77 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 *UPDATE* Note LeBron on the video screen. Looks MUCH better than the original How come in every computer image graphic they have ever put out for Prudential Center, they alway put a single giant screen on the outside. Instead of the super cool individual panels that you cant make anything out on when you see it in real life? I love the idea of the TV outside, but I really hate those panels. They should make the graphics to represent what's really there. Or just fix it. Add slightly thinner panels in between the existing ones and I think it would be close enough to make a single image out. And as for the park, I don't get it. You walk up one side and then have to go all the way around to get down again? It would be better then a parking lot, but I say no way anything resembling this ever gets built.

thelastonealive Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I am absolutely loving these new designs for the park. However...the guy who drew it didn't do his homework. LeBron James is switching to number 6 next year (...presumably to be more like Andy Greene). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newarkdev01 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I would love to know who is actually contracting them to do the renderings. This style of a plan would require huge amount of escavating and the removal of the ramp that was supposed to connect the park and area to Newark Penn. I would love to see the park there rather than the existing parking (which should go vertical or below ground but not be on the surface).

DaneykoIsGod Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 In principle, they look the same. One is just rounder and prettier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlman Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 That looks absolutely retarded. Ive never seen an uglier park in my life. I mean honestly, how do you fck up a park?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newarkdev01 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I just don't see how this end up coming to life when the city has 150 mil budget gap. I will wait to see the budget proposals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
