Er Gong Park

　　Er Gong Park in Hedong District, Tianjin, is situated next to Zhongshanmen Bridge on the Inner Ring Road in Hedong District. It was formerly known as the "Tianjin No. 2 Workers' Cultural Palace" and was renamed "Er Gong Park" after renovation.

　　The renovated Er Gong Park has been open to the public for free since July 7, 2009.

　　The newly refurbished Er Gong Park features wide flower beds on both sides and in the center of the front plaza, filled with various colorful flowers. The previously murky Lishui Lake has been restored to crystal-clear water, with steps built along the shore. The nearby Tianjin Workers' Gymnasium and Tianjin Workers' Tennis Center have been freshly painted. The reorganized functional areas have been divided into several zones, including a themed plaza, urban green space, leisure and entertainment area, children’s activity area, fitness area, and water area. A boat dock has been rebuilt, with large-scale ecological green landscapes arranged on the north and south sides, while activity areas are concentrated in the central part.

　　The new "Model Workers' Garden" has been relocated from the front plaza to the picturesque lakeside east of the theater, covering an area of 1,150 square meters. After the soil elevation projects on Red Leaf Island and Peach Blossom Island in Er Gong Park were completed, a large number of red leaf chinaberry saplings were planted on Red Leaf Island. Now, residents can enjoy beautiful red leaves without traveling to Beijing's Fragrant Hills, and the nostalgic experience of boating on Er Gong Lake has also become a reality again.

　　The park is lush with green trees and thriving foliage, and the lake water is as clear as jade, offering delightful scenery. The grand three-story "Worker"-shaped theater building, covering 7,142 square meters, stands tall. The theater can accommodate 1,140 spectators for movies and plays, with a multifunctional hall on the third floor. The 2,800-square-meter teaching building integrates education for seniors, adults, and young children. The park's staff fitness corridor is equipped with over a hundred types of fitness devices, and facilities for basketball, badminton, and table tennis are all available, providing entertainment and leisure for workers and the public. There are also smaller gardens within the park: the "Little Garden," "Fitness Garden," "Amusement Garden," and "Dream Garden." The amusement park includes various attractions loved by teenagers and children, such as roller coasters, wind racers, mini trains, bumper cars, era battle vehicles, and spinning planes. There are pedal boats and other water activities on the lake. The "Beile Maze" is the largest in North China, and the "Dream Beach" was self-designed and built—both are especially popular among children and their parents.
