According to the latest plan approved by the Hanoi People’s Committee, the project, invested by the city’s Project Management Board for Technical Infrastructure and Agricultural Construction, will build essential technical infrastructure and several public facilities within the park.
The park is expected to create a new cultural, recreational and sports space for both the city and Kien Hung Ward. Its diverse amenities will help improve the living environment, enhance local climate conditions and promote residents’ physical and mental well-being.
The project covers site clearance and full development of technical infrastructure, including ground leveling, lake embankment, water and electricity supply, telecommunications, stormwater and wastewater drainage, perimeter fencing and public facilities that serve local communities while creating visual highlights for the park.
Key technical infrastructure components include full site leveling, a regulating lake, internal roads, parking areas and multiple playgrounds, such as picnic areas, exercise zones, outdoor exhibition areas, children’s playgrounds, island play spaces and fire water intake points, along with an open park boundary.
Functional and landscape features will include several plazas (A9 musical fountain plaza, A18 cultural and festival plaza, B6 recreational plaza, B22 grand plaza and C8 event plaza), entertainment facilities and various landscaped and decorative elements.
Ha Dong Park was first approved in 1998 by the former Ha Tay Province, with an area of about 98 hectares.
After Ha tay merged with Hanoi in mid-August 2008, the city assigned the former Ha Dong District to implement key components: a 25.2-hectare sports complex, a 52.9-hectare green cultural park and the 11.3-hectare Booyoung International Apartment.
To date, Hanoi has renovated and upgraded 45 existing parks and gardens, built six new parks between 2021 and 2025 and is completing planning procedures for six additional parks now in the pipeline.
