Tianjin Central Park

Tianjin Central Park

Introduction Located in the downtown area of Heping District, it is enclosed by a circular garden road. Originally built in 1917 and completed in 1922, it was then called French Garden. The park features a statue of the French national hero Nordeck and a bronze statue of the Goddess of Peace. After 1941, it was renamed Central Park, and in 1946 was renamed Roosevelt Garden, with the bronze statue and others removed.

In April 1949, the Tianjin Municipal People's Government funded the restoration of the park, and it was renamed Central Park. Covering an area of 1.27 hectares, the park is circular in shape and is a typical French formal-style artificial garden. At its center stands a Western-style octagonal double-pillar stone pavilion, surrounded by lawns. There is a ring-shaped rose belt. The park’s plantings mainly include dragon claw locust, ash trees, crabapple, shrubs, and roses. It also has two symmetrical rockeries, a plum blossom fountain, two children’s carriage areas, and a children’s amusement area. In 1988, a Hundred Flowers Hall was built, making it a multifunctional park.
