Tank Park

Taichung Attractions

既有軌道步道區

The Tank Park is located in Zhongyi Village, Daya District (adjacent to the terminus of the Tanyashen Greenway), serving as one of the popular stops for cyclists. It showcases three M48A3 tanks, which are military weapons that have experienced the ravages of war. The armored brigade that operated these tanks was stationed in Qingquankeng for several decades. After decommissioning, they were transferred to Daya District Office with the approval of the Ministry of National Defense for public display. Local residents refer to the area where the tanks are placed as the Tank Park. In the early stages of the Korean War in 1950, the U.S. military found that various active tanks could not effectively handle the North Korean T-34/85 tanks of Russian design, leading to the need for a new type of tank in an emergency, which resulted in the birth of the M48 tank. In October 1950, the Detroit Tank Plant in the United States began design work on a tank equipped with a 90mm main gun. In December of the same year, Chrysler acquired the design, and this tank was completed by December 1951. On July 1, 1952, Chrysler officially announced the T48 tank and named it after General Patton.

Tank Park Introduction

The Tank Park is located in Zhongyi Village, Daya District (adjacent to the end of the Tanyashen Greenway) and is one of the resting points for cyclists. It showcases three M48A3 tanks, which are military weapons that have experienced the ravages of war. The armored brigade was stationed at Ching Chuan Kang for decades. After being decommissioned, the Ministry of National Defense approved their transfer to the Daya District Office for public viewing. Local residents refer to the area where the tanks are displayed as the Tank Park. In the early stages of the Korean War in 1950, the U.S. military discovered that existing tanks were ineffective against the Soviet-made T-34/85 tanks of North Korea and needed a new type of tank. This led to the development of the M48 tank. In October 1950, the Detroit Tank Plant in the United States began designing the tank equipped with a 90mm main gun. In December of the same year, Chrysler received approval for this model, known as the T48 tank, which was officially announced on July 1, 1952, and named the Patton tank.
