The Piano Park and its Squares.
Broozel Piano Park is located in the heart of the city and is surrounded by diverse natural parks and architectural interventions that create a unique and monumental site suitable for meeting. Our bridges are wide enough for sunrises and sunsets, including those with spectacular views over our fountains and park green rooms. The project design includes various pathways and sculpture. They are intended to support the connectivity of inhabitants of different social groups in the city. It creates places for people to interact with nature and with each other, and as well to express their creativity in the forms of musical sculptures, which will be integrated into the setting landscape.

The Square of Chords is reachable via the Square of Strings, only using a little music skill: walk there by following the way marked by chords name, you will be in front of the Lyrical Kiosk, take the right tunnel of the Pentatonic Vortex and you should reach the Square. The Square of Chords is a huge paved square dedicated to chord progressions, the perfect stage for aspiring composers, but also for romantic couples that want to dance to their favourite songs. Benches scattered around the square are lute-shaped, allowing not only to sit on them, but also to play them. Music lesson with a professional instructor are available near by.

Near the Square of Chords, you will find the central place of Piano Park, where all benches and paths are actually marimbas and keyboards, carved into the woods. When you walk quielty to the park pathways, each of your steps produce some notes that sounds like resonating kalimba with nice sharps and flats, eventually a crescendo that may last for a few minutes. You can play freely thanks to the instruments installed all around the Park
Piano Park is also a typical place where young people meet and seduce each other, and of course write poetry, which is more than advised. You will probably see young couple kissing on a piano-bench, or celebrating their new relationship in songbirds rituals, until someone will accidently play the wrong note, and break the mood with a minor clash.
