Revitalizacija tj. rješenje uređenja okoliša Starog grada polazi od stilski višeslojnog ustrojstva Starog grada. U tom ustrojstvu objedinjeni su: srednjevjekovna obilježja, te renesansa sa jedinstvenim zemljanim bedemima i bastionima.
Zelene površine, uređene u novije vrijeme dijelom kreativnim rukopisom Gosp. inž. Čirila Jeglića, (1952. god.), a dijelom kasnijom raznolikom sadnjom, nisu u suglasju sa stilskim obilježjima Staroga grada, pa je osnovni smisao revitalizacije: preoblikovanje dijela perivoja usklađeno sa stilskim karakteristikama Starog grada.
U suradnji sa Gosp. Dragutinom Kišom, dipl. ing. šum., parkovnim arhitektom, konzervatorskim zavodom grada Varaždina, te pod nadzorom Gradskog poglavarstva dobiveno je idejno rješenje uređenja tj. revitalizacije okoliša Starog grada, a tvrtka Parkovi d.d.- RJ Zelene površine pristupila je u studenome 2004. godine prvoj fazi uređenja okoliša Starog grada.
U prvu etapu uređenja spada:
1. izvedba kompozicije stilskog vrta u vanjskom dvorištu Starog grada - forma renesansno oblikovanog partera.
2. uklanjanje prerasle i suvišne vegetacije u grabištima oko lančane kule, (otvaraju se novi pogledi na tvrđavu sa prilaznog trga), te formiranje preraslih skupina tisa koje zaklanjaju zidove tvrđave
3. sadnja novog drvoreda jablana na prilazu do Starog grada- nastavak dvaju postojećih jablanova
Sljedeće etape obuhvaćaju aktivnosti oko oslobađanja bedema od prerasle vegetacije.
Cjelokupno novo rješenje pretpostavlja postupnost i dugoročnost izvedbe. Konačnom izvedbom kroz duži vremenski period dobit će se cjeloviti objekt kulture, najviše povijesne vrijednosti i u dijelu koji se odnosi na vrtnu kulturu i umjetnost.Revitalization, i.e. solution for the arranging of the environment of the Old town starts from the multi-layered structure of The Old town. This structure unites the medieval characteristics with the unique renaissance earthwork walls and bastions.
Green areas, arranged partly in 1952 by Mr. Ćiril Jeglić’s creative handwriting and partly by later heterogeneous planting, are not in accordance with the stylistic character of the Old town, so the main purpose of the revitalization is to redesign a part of the garden according to the stylistic characteristics of the Old town.
Together with Mr. Dragutin Kiš, B. S. of forestry, park architect, department of conservation of town of Varaždin, and under supervision of the Town government, preliminary solution of the arranging, i.e. revitalization of the Old town, was obtained, and the firm Parkovi d.d. – RJ Zelene površine has started the first phase of the arranging of the Old town environment in November of 2004.
The first phase of arranging includes:
1. Carrying out of the stylistic garden in the outer courtyard of the Old town – form of the renaissance .ornament.
2. Removing the outgrown and excessive vegetation in the ditch around the chain-tower (view on the tower is opened from the access square), and forming the outgrown yew-trees which cover the fortress walls.
3. Planting new line of plane-trees on the path leading to the Old town – continuation of the two existing plane-trees.
Next phases include activities formed around the removal of outgrown vegetation from the wall. This new solution presupposes gradual and long-term carrying out of activities. The final version over a longer period of time will be a complex cultural object of the highest historic value
