Kunyang New Village is one of the typical old communities in Jiangchuan. Kunyang Pocket Park is located on the east side of Tianxing Road and covers an area of ​​about 2225 square meters. This land has been idle since 2018, and has accumulated a lot of construction waste. This year, Jiangchuan Road Street signed a contract with Shanghai Electric (Group) Corporation, the owner of the plot. On June 10, the Kunyang Pocket Park project officially started, building the Kunyang Pocket Park into a green landscape, integrating community sports, A comprehensive ecological space integrating fitness and leisure.

From the initial land refurbishment, garbage cleaning, rubber runway transportation, and planting and greening, in just 4 months, this “leftover” of Kunyang New Village has become a pocket park. There are spacious basketball courts, comfortable circular trails, ample seating seats, and sandy areas specially designed for children. Although the scale and size of the venue are limited, the design and construction still take into account the needs of people of different ages. For example, the elderly like to gather in twos and threes to chat, and there are more rest seats in the park, which are also arranged according to the preferences of children. Interesting rides.

It takes less than 15 minutes to walk here. It’s really amazing. Convenient and comfortable.” Grandma Chang from Kunyang New Village said happily. Now, from time to time, parents and children come here to play and play. Children have venues for activities.
