Esplanade青年广场（Espanade Youth Plaza, EYP）坐落于弗里曼特尔市（Fremantle）中心，位于历史悠久的公园保护区内。项目位于城市绿洲内，目的是为了满足现有社区的需求，打造一个青少年游戏空间、活动空间以及开放的公园绿地设施，同时作为连接市中心和弗里曼特尔海滨的主要绿色通道。

The Esplanade Youth Plaza is situated in the heart of Fremantle city, located in the historic parkland setting of the Esplanade Reserve, an urban oasis catering to existing community needs with a junior play space, open parkland amenity and event space. Esplanade Reserve is the major green thoroughfare between the central city and the Fremantle waterfront.

Esplanade青年广场体现了可持续发展的原则，让所有游客、住户都能有机会来体验开放的空间，为各年龄层人士提供一系列的活动场所。

Embodying the principles of social sustainability, the youth plaza offers opportunities for all visitors, participants and users. It is a central community hub providing a range of active and passive pursuits, engagement, events and social prospects and pursuits for all ages.

青年广场的定位，是为了服务当地用户以及国内外游客，并为年轻人提供非传统意义上的体育项目所带来的运动体验。广场是弗里曼特尔（Fremantle）文化精髓的体现，这些历史文化通过空间交织在一起，使用一系列的材料和特征来表现城市的故事和丰富的历史：通过将回收的海洋浮标，重新利用成一个滑板元素的标志、将一个集装箱重新放入一个漂石塔等等，值得一提的是，滑板场地造型，是在向当地历史悠久的羊毛商店壁架致敬。

The plaza is a manifestation of the very essence of Fremantle’s culture. These interpretative layers are interwoven through the space, using a range of materials and features to represent the story and rich history of the city, in particular its working past. This is manifest with the repurposing of a reclaimed marine buoy into an iconic skate element and readapting a shipping container into a bouldering tower. Complimenting this is the strong skating culture within the community, evident in the unique and challenging skateable terrain that pays homage to the local historic Wool Stores ledge. This identifies the youth plaza as a key destination for local users and both national and international visitors, providing young people with opportunities other than formal sports and structured experiences.

Esplanade青年广场拥有保护区现有的丰富的景观特色，结合了互补的景观元素，在林荫大道植树、使用环境亲和的材料，以确保广场在历史保护区内不会太过违和。

The plaza draws on the rich palette of the existing landscape character within the Esplanade Reserve, and incorporates complimentary landscape elements with avenue tree planting, native garden beds and the use of sympathetic materials to ensure the facility sits comfortably within the unique historic reserve setting.

广场的可骑行地形以其独特的特色、色彩、形式和流量迎合了长期存在和不断发展的滑板文化、小轮车和滑板车用户，并确保了这些活跃的运动能为社区长期的增加活力。项目前期的策划增加了广场的活动种类，包括其他社会和城市活动的功能，如跑酷和攀岩，并满足其他运动的需求，如篮球和户外乒乓球，使整个社区的活动变得多样而有活力。

The rideable terrain of the plaza with unique features, colour, forms and flow caters to the long standing and growing skate culture, BMX riders and scooter users and ensures the future growth and development of these active sports to their highest level. The response to the brief expanded the thinking of a youth plaza to include the addition of features for other growing social and urban activities such as parkour and bouldering, and meeting the needs of other active social activities such as basketball and outdoor ping pong. The expanded vision increased the breadth and diversity of the user demographic and engaged across the full spectrum of community.

广场的基础设施，功能多样和丰富的流线，使得广场成为滨海大道上一个标志性的地标，引人注目的美学、配色、当代材料选择和主题设计特色，使青年广场成为澳大利亚此类公共空间的标杆之一。

The Esplanade Youth Plaza is an iconic facility and youth plaza due to its contextual setting, functionality and flow dynamism. The striking aesthetics, colour palette, contemporary material selection and thematic design features, position the youth plaza as one of the flagship public space developments of its type, in Australia.
