People's Park, Urban park in Huangpu District, Shanghai, China.

People's Park occupies the northern half of the former Shanghai Race Club course, south of Nanjing Road and north of People's Square. It holds two museums, including the Shanghai History Museum in the former race club building of 1933, a large pond with the Barbarossa cafe-bar, and a funfair. High-rises such as the Park Hotel and Tomorrow Square overlook the grounds.

The park occupies the former Shanghai Race Club, founded by the British in 1862 and the leading horse racing track in East Asia. The club building, built in 1933, became a downtown landmark. After the People's Republic was founded on 1 October 1949, the new government banned horse racing and gambling and converted the racecourse into People's Park (northern half) and People's Square (southern half) in 1952. In the 1990s the Shanghai Municipal Government moved just south of the park, and the Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Grand Theatre and Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall were added there.

The park hosts the country's first "English corner", started in 1978 opposite the Park Hotel, where learners once gathered every Sunday; a text about it appears in Shanghai's junior secondary English textbooks. Since 2004 the weekend "blind date corner" has displayed marriage advertisements posted by parents. The adjacent Great Triangle Green Space, built over People's Square metro station, is a popular meeting spot for couples.

Open daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with direct access from People's Square Station via metro lines 1, 2 and 8. Visitors will find public restrooms, seating areas and vendor stalls throughout the grounds. Early morning offers the best time to observe tai chi demonstrations, while late mornings on weekends provide opportunities to experience cultural activities. The surrounding People's Square area provides shopping and dining options within walking distance.

The "blind date corner" has operated since 2004, when parents exercising in the park began exchanging notes about their unmarried adult children; the practice then spread to elderly visitors from across Shanghai. It now draws more weekend attention than the English corner opposite the Park Hotel, which dates from 1978 and was the country's first.
