Hanoi spends 1,250 billion VND to build a 95-hectare park

(Dan Tri) - The Ha Dong cultural, entertainment and sports park (Hanoi) is built on a 95-hectare land area, with an investment of 1,250 billion VND, and is expected to be completed by 2027.

Ha Dong Cultural - Entertainment and Sports Park (abbreviated as Ha Dong Park) is located on a 95-hectare land in Ha Cau and Kien Hung wards (Ha Dong district, Hanoi), 9km southwest of Nga Tu So and about 14km from Hoan Kiem Lake. The project has a total investment of 1,250 billion VND, of which 650 billion VND is for site clearance, and will be implemented from the end of 2024 to 2027.

With an area of ​​nearly 100 hectares, after completion, this will be the largest public park in Hanoi, nearly twice as large as Thong Nhat Park (50 hectares), only smaller than Yen So Park (323 hectares) built by the private sector. According to the plan, Ha Dong Park will have a regulating lake and island with an open area of ​​over 35 hectares; the cultural park area includes 19 different areas such as: lakeside viewing pavilion, chess pavilion, water music square, cultural square, festival, picnic area; restaurant.

Since 2022, the local government has coordinated with relevant agencies to construct a corrugated iron fence around the land. However, according to Dan Tri reporters, many areas surrounded by corrugated iron have become garbage dumps, emitting a foul odor, causing urban unsightliness despite signs prohibiting dumping.

Some areas inside the land are overgrown with grass, taller than a person's head. Ha Dong Park is expected to become a prominent highlight, contributing to completing the landscape space and harmonizing the architectural space for major roads in the area such as: Ring Road 3.5, Phuc La - Van Phu road and neighboring areas such as Van Phu new urban area, Phu Luong, Kien Hung.

Previously, there were many football fields, restaurants, and service areas operating inside the project. After public outcry, Ha Dong district requested the units renting premises to move out of the project. To date, construction materials of these projects are still scattered.

Inside the project is a place to collect dry tree branches after storm number 3 (typhoon Yagi).

Some areas of the project are used as car parks and soccer fields.

People use the land inside the project to grow vegetables. Previously, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment publicly consulted the community on the environmental impact assessment report of the Ha Dong park project. In the EIA report (short for environmental impact assessment), the investor also mentioned the sensitive environmental factor when implementing the project, which is to convert the purpose of use of over 302,200m2 of rice land from 2 crops or more into non-agricultural land to implement the project; of which over 63,346m2 of land belongs to Ha Cau ward and 238,861m2 belongs to Kien Hung ward.

Currently, the Ha Dong golf course located in the middle of the project still has many people coming and going. It is known that the Ha Dong District Cultural - Entertainment - Sports Park project was approved by the former Ha Tay province for planning in Ha Cau and Kien Hung wards in 2008. After more than 15 years of "shelving", in 2023, the project was announced by the authorities for planning at a scale of 1/500.

When completed, the park will become a highlight of Ha Dong district, creating a space for cultural and sports activities to improve the living environment of local people.

The landscape in the park is mainly shade trees, gardens, lawns, miniature landscapes combined with playgrounds and walking paths, designed and selected with types of trees suitable for the functions of areas A, B, C that have been approved for detailed planning. For other works and items that do not require investment at this stage, grass will be planted to create a common landscape in the park and is expected to be completed in the following stages or wait for socialized capital investment to fully exploit the efficiency.
