Materials

Genius loci. Atmosphere. Cosy corners. Original decoration. Unusual realization. In short, Park 360 is a work of art, a place for relaxation, great photos and meetings. We issued a challenge to ourselves – to work as much as possible with materials we already have or that someone else considered waste and threw away.

Pallets are our favourite material. We use pieces that no one else wanted or found no original use in logistics due to damage. They still serve us in many ways. For example, we have used them for seating or a navigation system.

Who are the globetrotters who finally docked in Hradec Králové? The shipping containers that crisscrossed the world. We use them as a bar, a café, a campsite reception, a bicycle storage room or even a mobile phone charging station. And we’ve adapted one such second-hand container for wheelchair accessible showers and toilets. You can find out more about how we are breaking down barriers in the Accessibility section.

The venue is decorated with a gate made of leftover wood. We also use the scraps and wood residues for navigation signs, elsewhere as protection for waste bins or as design elements in the grounds.

Metal barrels are a perfect example of circularity. We filled them with compost from a nearby composting plant (thanks to Hradecké služby) and planted them with greenery.

For example, a main Rock for People festival entrance inspired by the equalizer was built from discarded water barrels several years ago. Thanks to lighting effects, it creates a backdrop and atmosphere on the stages now.

Festoons with colourful flags have become an unmissable decoration of the grounds fluttering in the wind. They are made from leftover fabrics from swimwear production.

We also use and reuse OSB boards, chipboard, planks, sheets and other leftover material. But the absolute best is the waste that is not generated at all. You can find out how we manage and prevent waste in the Waste section.
