Lohas Park Introduction
Donghu Leisure Park is located beside Kang Le Street and Lane 61 of Kang Le Street, on the northern bank of Neigou River. Established as a parking lot by the Public Works Department in 2003, the area was transformed into a park in 2010 and officially opened in March 2011. Covering an area of approximately 1 hectare, it is a green urban park that is perfect for families to relax on weekends or in the afternoon. Adjacent to residential areas, Donghu Leisure Park is near Donghu Junior High School and Donghu Elementary School, and is about a 10-minute walk from Donghu MRT Station, making it very accessible by both MRT and bus. The green space on the left side, where the words "Neigou River" are prominently displayed, is the Leisure Park. Neighboring the park along the bank of Neigou River is a cherry blossom viewing trail cultivated by the village chief and residents, featuring over a hundred cherry trees, including cold cherry and Wushe cherry, which bloom sequentially in February and March. Since 2014, the blooming season has attracted large crowds, making it a popular spot online, regarded as an oasis in the urban jungle. Within the park, there are spaces for community activities and greenery; facilities include a children's playground for climbing and play, a resting pavilion for community gatherings, fitness equipment for leisure and relaxation, and walking paths that allow visitors to enjoy the surrounding lush greenery.
