The park has to major elements of circulation:
Boulevard: (For the purpose of destination, high-speed route by comparison)
- Runs north-south, systematically intersecting all the bands at right angles.
- Directly connects the major architectural components for the park (museum/baths in north, City of Music/Great Hall in the south).
- This is corridor is the 24-hour part of the program as it hosts the all-night facilities located on or along it. Distances itself spatially but stays visually connected to the busy public life along the perimeter.
- Width: 25 meters wide, 5 of which are covered.
Promenade: (For the purpose of discovery through meander, low-speed winding route)
- “Journey along the promenade will represent a fragmented visit to them all”
- Generated through the identification and demarcation (through plazas) of certain significant cross sections as they are fortuitously created through the interaction of the bands.
- Creates access to small sites within the site- small destinations at each plaza (chess tables, small amphitheatres, greenhouses, etc.)
- Entrances coincide with (and control) the opening of the park itself.
The two paths are joined by a riverside ambulatory, so that the circulation system forms a figure 8. To meander on the promenade, one will be recycled back into the larger path in order to reinvigorate his pace.
