The roof references the pitched form of the two previous pavilions that were constructed on this historic site. To meet contemporary requirements for column-free views to the field, the roof is supported from the centre like an umbrella. In this way, a traditional presence is delivered to create an open and inclusive communal umbrella for the park, beneath which all the various community functions play out. The use of concrete considered the potential for parts of the demolished pavilion to be reused in the new pavilion, with recycled rubble in the concrete mix and formwork utilising recycled roof timbers, that leave their board-form impression in the exterior surfaces.
