Lohas Park Introduction
Donghu Leisure Park is located next to Kangle Street and Lane 61, Kangle Street, on the northern bank of Neigou River. It was originally developed as a parking lot by the Public Works Department in 2003 and was transformed into the current park area in 2010, officially opened in March 2011. Covering an area of approximately 1 hectare, the park is filled with greenery, making it a suitable urban park for families to relax on weekends or in the afternoons. Donghu Leisure Park is adjacent to residential areas and is close to Donghu Junior High School and Donghu Elementary School, about a 10-minute walk from Donghu MRT Station, making it very convenient for transportation, accessible by both MRT and bus. The green space on the left side of the three large characters "Neigou River" at the bottom of Donghu Road turning into Kangle Street is the Leisure Park. Next to the park, along the Neigou River, there is a cherry blossom trail cultivated by the village chief and local residents, featuring over a hundred trees, including winter cherry and Wusha cherry, blooming sequentially in February and March. Since 2014, during the cherry blossom season, it has attracted a large number of visitors and has become a popular search destination online, often regarded as a hidden paradise in the urban jungle. The park offers both community activity space and green landscape, with facilities including a children's playground for climbing and playing, resting pavilions for community gatherings, fitness equipment for leisure and relaxation, as well as reserved activity spaces within the park where meandering paths allow visitors to enjoy the surrounding lush greenery.
