Hanoi is seeing a significant revitalization of its public parks, with several undergoing extensive renovations costing tens of billions of dong. These projects aim to upgrade facilities, enhance aesthetics, and create more inviting community spaces by adding greenery, improved lighting, and modern playgrounds.

From 2/2025, Cau Giay Park in Cau Giay ward received an investment of over 60 billion dong for renovations. By 10/2025, the repairs were completed, addressing dilapidated elements, and significantly improving the park's appearance.

The park's main square was paved with concrete, stone, and coated with a hardening, anti-moss paint. After completion, this area attracted young people for recreation and extreme sports.

Paths around the park, sidewalks, and many broken stone benches were repaired. Numerous empty plots were also planted with flowers and trees.

Many damaged benches were replaced, allowing residents to relax and stroll during the New Year holiday.

Renovations began in 2/2025 and were completed by the end of 12/2025.

The path around the lake was previously dilapidated, with peeling surfaces, making it difficult for residents to walk and exercise. Now, the entire path has been repaved with stone, and railings have been replaced.

The children's playground at Cau Giay Park received investments in various amenities such as sandpits, activity zones, and slides. Since the repairs were completed, many families bring their children here daily, especially in the afternoons and on weekends.

In 2025, the entire fence around the park was removed. The management unit replaced the lighting and repaved the sidewalks around the park.

About two kilometers away, Nghia Do Park on Nguyen Van Huyen and To Hieu streets also underwent significant improvements.

Murals within the park grounds were repainted, refreshing the common living space. Ms. Nguyen Minh Anh, 65 years old, a long-time park visitor, stated that the park has changed noticeably, particularly with the planting of many new flower species.

The fitness area was equipped with dozens of additional machines, meeting the exercise needs of residents of all ages. The children's playground was renovated with added features; a new lighting system was installed, combining grid power and solar energy.

Meanwhile, Thong Nhat Park (Hai Ba Trung ward), Hanoi's largest park spanning over 50 hectares, is undergoing multiple adjustments. Situated between Tran Nhan Tong, Le Duan, Dai Co Viet, and Nguyen Dinh Chieu streets, the park's gate on Nguyen Dinh Chieu street was repaired, and all lettering was replaced.

The path in front of the park's main gate is adorned with themed flowers and miniature landscapes, changing periodically. During the recent Christmas season, a large pine tree was erected as a focal point, attracting residents to visit and take photos.

The Hai Ba Trung Ward Investment and Infrastructure Project Management Board announced that the park will continue to renovate entrances, install decorative lighting at the main gate, and add surveillance cameras along the grounds. These items are expected to be completed before Lunar New Year Binh Ngo 2026.
