Battle 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 station of the Tanyashen Greenway), and serves as a stop for cyclists and visitors. It showcases three M48A3 tanks, which are military weapons that have experienced the ravages of warfare. These tanks were part of an armored brigade that was stationed at Ching Chuan Kang for several decades. After being decommissioned, they were transferred to the Daya District Office with the permission of the Ministry of National Defense, allowing the public to view them. The local residents refer to the area where the tanks are displayed as Tank Park. In the early stages of the Korean War in 1950, the U.S. military found that various active tanks at the time could not effectively deal with the North Korean T-34/85 tanks, necessitating the development of a new type of tank in response, leading 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 was awarded the contract for this design, which was finalized in December 1951. On July 1, 1952, Chrysler officially announced the T48 tank, which was named the Patton tank.
