Changying Park

　　Changying Park is situated within the thousand-mu ginkgo forest in the greening isolation zone in the northwest of Changying Area, Chaoyang District, covering an area of approximately 742,900 square meters (1,114 mu). The park is constructed in two phases: the first phase spans 344,200 square meters (516 mu) and was initiated in October 2007, completing in April 2008; the second phase covers 398,700 square meters (598 mu) and construction began in 2008. Characterized by its autumn woodland scenery, Changying Park is a suburban park designed to meet public needs for sightseeing, leisure, fitness, and sports activities.

　　Key attractions in the first phase of the park include: the Flower Dance Cultural Tree-lined Plaza, the Mountain Forest Rest Pavilion, the Chess and Card Plaza, the Fitness Plaza, the Dancing Plaza, the Ball Sports Field, the Children’s Activity Plaza, the Tree Pavilion Garden, the Diabolo Sports Plaza, and the Thousand-Meter Slow-Running Trail through the woods. The park primarily serves the daily fitness and leisure needs of the public, while also incorporating local specialty sports and cultural events, such as the Flower Dance Cultural Tree-lined Plaza, the Diabolo Sports Plaza, and cultural performances.

　　The second phase of the park will create a “Ginkgo Corridor” to highlight the distinctive ginkgo landscape forest. It will also showcase the cultural, scientific, and health-related knowledge of green plants, promoting the concept of cherishing the green environment. Major attractions include themed plant spaces that offer recreational and fitness venues, such as the Ginkgo Terrace, the Apricot Blossom Valley, the Fragrant Flower Plaza, the Peony Garden, the Cherry Blossom Island, and the Green Pavilion Morning Exercise Plaza.

　　The park can be connected via the greenbelts on both sides of the Xiaochangou area to the riverside green spaces of Dongba Area and Pingfang Area, forming a green space cluster together with Dongba Suburban Park and the Capital Locust Garden.
