The intense heat in the early summer days has caused the demand for green spaces for people in the Capital to increase dramatically. Instead of confining themselves in cramped air-conditioned rooms, going to large parks not only helps cool down but also brings a feeling of relaxation and closeness to nature.
Unification Park
The first destination not to be missed is Thong Nhat Park, which has just undergone a strong "makeover" when the entire system of surrounding iron fences has been removed. Lowering fences not only makes the park's appearance more airy but also creates an easily accessible and close space for people.
Now, people can easily access green spaces from all sides, enjoy the feeling of walking under casuarina trees or pedaling ducks on the vast lake surface without the feeling of being separated from the chaotic city.
At Thong Nhat Park, many entertainment activities are worth experiencing such as: taking the train around the park, Tran Nhan Tong pedestrian street...
Thu Le Zoo
Continuing the journey to avoid the sun is Thu Le Zoo, an ideal space for families who want to find green space. The biggest difference here is the dense green tree density covering almost the entire walkway, helping the temperature to always be stable and cool even during the harshest sunny hours.
Young children when coming here not only discover the diverse animal world but can also participate in water games right on the lake surface, where water vapor and tree shadows resonate to create a giant "natural air conditioner" in the bustling city center.
Cau Giay Park
Another destination not to be missed is Cau Giay Park, with an open design and modern planning. Different from the quietness of old parks, this place brings dynamism with clean artificial turf play areas dedicated to children. The big plus of this park is its spacious space, not constrained by rigid fences. This is a great place for families to organize light picnics.
Proactively scheduling visits to these "green lungs" not only helps people relieve the pressure of hot weather but is also an opportunity to connect families. To have a perfect trip, everyone should prioritize early morning or after 4 pm, and don't forget to bring drinking water and sunscreen. The change from open spaces after lowering fences in parks not only beautifies urban aesthetics but also truly turns these places into sustainable cultural and green entertainment spots for all ages.
