Zhongshan Park, Urban park in Changning District, China.
Located at 780 Changning Road, Zhongshan Park spreads across a green area with meadows, rose beds, and lotus flowers near Cloud Nine shopping mall.
The park opened in 1914 as Jessfield Park on the former property of British developer H. Fogg before its renaming to Zhongshan Park in 1944.
The name change to Zhongshan Park honors Dr. Sun Yat-sen, reflecting the connection between Shanghai's public spaces and Chinese historical figures.
The park operates daily from 6 AM to 6 PM in summer, with access through Shanghai Metro Lines 2, 3, and 4 at Zhongshan Park station.
The southern section of the original property became Zhongshan Park while the northern part transformed into St John's University for the Episcopal Church.
Location: Changning District
Part of: Sun Yat-Sen Parks in the World
