The Hanoi People’s Committee has recently approved the investment project for the construction of technical infrastructure and several public facilities within the Ha Dong Cultural Park, Entertainment, and Sports Complex. This marks a significant step toward establishing a large-scale green space in the western part of the capital, catering to the recreational and relaxation needs of residents.
The project, located in Kien Hung Ward, is being executed by the Project Management Unit for Technical Infrastructure and Agricultural Construction Investment of Hanoi.
The project encompasses comprehensive development, from land clearance to synchronized technical infrastructure, including land leveling, reservoir construction, internal transportation systems, parking lots, electricity supply, water drainage, communication networks, and fire prevention systems. The park will feature unique functional and landscape architectural elements, poised to become a regional highlight.
Notable features include grand gates and plazas, entertainment facilities, scenic landscapes, and miniature gardens. Highlights will be the musical fountain square, cultural festival square, event square, skateboarding area, lakeside gazebos, maze bridges, children’s wooden houses, boat docks, Japanese gardens, traditional gardens, and a landscape plant exhibition area.
According to VTC News, the project site remains enclosed by corrugated iron sheets on multiple sides.
Inside, weeds grow as tall as a person, and many dry tree trunks lie fallen. Some areas have become dumping grounds for household waste and discarded materials.
In some spots, remnants of old concrete blocks and gray brick foundations from previous use lie scattered.
Outside the iron fence, some residents utilize the space near the project gate to set up temporary drink stalls, vending carts, or store belongings.
“This area has been left unused for many years, it’s such a pity. Every evening, I take my grandchild for a walk, but we can only stroll along the sidewalk. If the park is built as planned, with a lake and greenery, we would be overjoyed,” said Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hoa from Ha Tri Street.
“We hope to have a place for exercise and walking, especially for the elderly and children. Hearing about the musical fountain square and playground is wonderful. We hope the project starts soon to improve the area’s appearance,” shared a resident from Kien Hung Ward.
The project’s revival raises hopes of transforming the area into a modern public space, fulfilling the long-standing aspirations of local residents.
Up-Close Look: Hanoi’s Ring Road 4 Parallel Roads at Risk of Missing Deadlines
Scheduled for completion by the end of 2025, significant portions of the parallel roads accompanying the Ring Road 4 project in Hanoi remain stalled due to unresolved land clearance issues or are only in the initial stages of foundation excavation and backfilling. The project investor has warned of a high risk that the deadline may not be met.
