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), and is one of the bicycle paths that visitors can stop by to visit. It displays three M48A3 tanks, which are military weapons that have experienced the ravages of war. The tank armor brigade was stationed at Qingquan Gang for decades. After being decommissioned, they were transferred to the Daya District Office with the approval of the Ministry of National Defense for public viewing, and the local residents refer to the area where the tanks are placed as the Tank Park. In the early 1950s, during the Korean War, the U.S. military discovered that various active tanks at the time were ineffective against North Korea's Soviet-made T-34/85 tanks, necessitating a new type of tank in an emergency, which led to the birth of the M48 tank. In October 1950, the Detroit Tank Plant in the United States began designing a tank equipped with a 90mm main gun. In December of the same year, Chrysler won the contract for this model, which was completed by December 1951. On July 1, 1952, Chrysler officially announced the T48 tank, naming it the M48 Patton.

Tank Park Introduction

The Tank Park is located in Zhongyi Village, Daya District (adjacent to the junction of the Tanyashen Greenway). It is one of the popular stopping points for cyclists, featuring three M48A3 tanks, which are military weapons that have experienced the ravages of war. This armored battalion was stationed at Qingquankang for several decades, and after being decommissioned, the Ministry of National Defense agreed to hand them over 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 the various active tanks at the time were unable to effectively counter the North Korean T-34/85 tanks, leading to the need for a new type of emergency tank, which resulted in the creation 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 Corporation obtained the contract for this tank, which was completed in December 1951. On July 1, 1952, Chrysler officially announced the T48 tank and named it the Patton tank.
