To create a kid-friendly and all-age harmonious community, the designers conducted a detailed analysis of the neighborhood’s activity status, finding that the elderly and children are the groups who stay the longest and use public areas the most frequently. Thus, kids’ play and seniors’ leisure have become the top priority of design.

With the idea of “interstellar travel and dream-seeking”, the designers brought star trails, the Milky Way, planets, and space stations to life, bringing an intergalactic journey for children to explore the world.

Sail from the time tunnel bridge, jump on the trampoline, whisper to the wind on the megaphone, swing under the gallery, climb on the weaving net, play on the cloud rocking chair and star seesaw, run freely and hide-and-seek cleverly. Here, children's joyful journey is captured, meeting their physical and growth demands of all ages. Besides, under the shade, parents and seniors can also relax while keeping an eye and ear on their children closely.

With these efforts, it has already become an integral part of people's daily lives after completion, giving them a high-quality lifestyle and adding warmth to every moment.
