Traveler reviews
Arkk Smith
★★★★★a year agoA pleasant little park in the middle of a busy part of the city. Very well maintained and clean with wide paths for walking or running. There are playgrounds for kids, ping pong tables, exercise areas for everyone, and a large sand area for volleyball or soccer. In the NE corner of the park is an excellent basketball court with chain nets and fair backboards. I had an enjoyable 2 on 2 with some of the local young men. Plenty of benches but no picnic tables, however you can picnic on the grass under one of the many shady trees and watch the squirrels climb down from the trees hoping for a snack. A great place for all ages.

★★★★★a year agoA surprisingly peaceful and green spot in the middle of Saigon’s chaos. The park is clean, well-maintained, and full of life — including lots of friendly squirrels running around the trees! There are public toilets nearby, basic but functional, and the whole place feels safe even early in the morning or late in the evening. Locals come here to jog, stretch, or just sit and relax. There are pull-up bars and workout stations scattered around — a nice bonus if you want to stay active during your trip. Plenty of benches in the shade, birds singing. Not a “must-see” attraction, but a really pleasant place to chill, especially if you’re staying nearby or want to escape the heat for a while.
