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). It is one of the attractions where cyclists often stop to visit, featuring three M48A3 tanks, which are military weapons that have experienced the ravages of war. The armored tank brigade was stationed at Ching Chuan Kang for several decades. After being decommissioned, they were transferred to the Daya District Office with the consent 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 the 1950s, the U.S. military discovered that the various active tanks at the time were unable to effectively deal with North Korea's Soviet-made T-34/85 tanks, necessitating a new type of tank. This 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 Corporation obtained this design, and the tank was completed in December 1951. On July 1, 1952, Chrysler officially announced the T48 tank, naming it the Patton tank.
