In Aalborg, the limestone quarry becomes a family park

Aalborg Portland covers an area of 1,200 hectares, 188 of which are used for the production of cement. The remaining 1,012 hectares are made up of lakes, woods, meadows, brackish marshes, uncultivated land and agricultural land.

The concept of the redevelopment plan of the limestone quarry consists of its transformation into a family park, which will offer the local population a variety of recreational and sports activities near the city.

The project foresees that the lake will be used for sailing, water skiing, diving and bathing, while the surrounding area will be able to offer services for hang gliding, mountain biking, jogging, walking and other similar activities.

The basic principle of the redevelopment plan is to create a scenic space with steep and exposed slopes, soft green hills and opportunities for walking and having fun.

The creation of embankments and terraces in specific areas of the limestone quarry has already begun, while mining activities are underway at a safe distance on the other side of the quarry.
