Tank Park

Taichung Attractions

既有軌道步道區

The Tank Park is located in Zhongyi Village, Daya District (adjacent to the end of the Tanyashen Greenway), and serves as one of the stopover points for cyclists. It showcases three M48A3 tanks, military weapons that have experienced the ravages of war. The armored brigade stationed at Qingquangang for decades, and after being decommissioned, the Ministry of National Defense agreed to transfer them 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 various active tanks were unable to effectively deal with North Korea's Soviet-made T-34/85 tanks, necessitating the need for a new type of emergency tank, leading to the birth of the M48 tank. In October 1950, the Detroit Tank Plant in the United States began design work for a tank equipped with a 90mm main gun. In December of the same year, Chrysler Corporation obtained the design, and the T48 tank was officially announced on July 1, 1952, named the Patton tank.

Tank Park Introduction

The Tank Park is located in the Zhongyi Village of Daya District (adjacent to the end of the Tanyashen Greenway), and it is one of the stopping points for cyclists who visit the area. It showcases three M48A3 tanks, which are military vehicles that have experienced artillery warfare. The armored division that used to be stationed at Qingquankang for several decades previously operated these tanks. After being decommissioned, they were transferred to the Daya District Office with the approval of the Ministry of National Defense 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 found that various active tanks at that time were unable to effectively deal with the Soviet-made T-34/85 tanks from North Korea; therefore, a new type of tank was needed urgently, which led to the development of the M48 tank. In October 1950, the U.S. Detroit Tank Plant began designing a tank equipped with a 90mm main gun. In December of the same year, Chrysler Corporation received the contract for this tank, which was named the T48. It was officially announced by Chrysler on July 1, 1952, and was named the Patton tank.
