Nuanu Creative City Offers Media an Exclusive First Look at Nuanu Park Ahead of Summer Launch

Nuanu Creative City welcomed members of the media to an exclusive preview of Nuanu Park, a new 1.6-hectare public park that will serve as the official pedestrian entrance into Nuanu Creative City ahead of its summer launch.

Designed as a public-facing gateway into the wider creative city, Nuanu Park will bring together nature, art, education, recreation, and family experiences within one connected landscape. Once open, the park will offer a range of public activities, including masterclasses, children’s programmes, outdoor experiences, dog-friendly spaces, and community-led activities.

Held ahead of the park’s official opening this summer, the media preview offered journalists an early look at how Nuanu Park is being developed as the first point of arrival for many visitors. The park is designed to make Nuanu more open and accessible to the public, inviting people to enter the creative city through exploration, learning, play, and shared experiences.

During the preview, journalists were taken through several key areas of the park, including the official public gate, amphitheatre, open grass park, playground, Botanical Garden, Kids Academy, ropes course and ziplining area, Nuanu Art Village, connecting bridge, and surrounding public spaces.

A highlight of the media preview was a sneak peek of the official Nuanu Park Gate, envisioned as a cultural landmark and living gateway into Nuanu Creative City. Developed with Balinese artists, architects, sculptors, cultural advisors, and local stakeholders, the gate combines Balinese architectural principles, traditional craftsmanship, and contemporary multimedia technology, including media installation and projection mapping. Centred on the symbolism of Athena and Saraswati, it reflects knowledge, creativity, and connection between tradition and innovation, nature and technology, and Bali’s local identity within a wider global dialogue.

“Nuanu Park is an important step in opening Nuanu up to more people,” said Lev Kroll, CEO of Nuanu. “As the ecosystem grows, we want the first experience of Nuanu to feel accessible and connected to daily life, not closed off or overly formal. It should give people a clear way to enter, spend time, and slowly understand what Nuanu is becoming. For us, public infrastructure like this is just as important as larger cultural or hospitality projects, because it gives people a reason to return and build a real relationship with the place.”

The exclusive media preview also gave journalists a behind-the-scenes understanding of how the park will function once open to the public, from visitor flow and family experiences to future public programming and cultural activations.

Once launched, Nuanu Park is expected to play an important role in shaping public engagement with Nuanu Creative City. Through outdoor activities, masterclasses, family-centred experiences, cultural discovery, dog-friendly spaces, and accessible public areas, the park will offer visitors a new way to experience Nuanu from the moment they arrive.

Nuanu Park is set to officially welcome visitors this summer, marking another milestone in Nuanu Creative City’s development as a destination where culture, creativity, nature, and community intersect.
