Heping Park, Urban park in Hongkou district, Shanghai, China.
Heping Park is an urban green space in Hongkou featuring artificial hills, walking paths, a central lake, and a children's playground. The grounds also contain a library and a small zoo with various animals.
Major renovations in 2021 transformed the park by removing amusement rides that had occupied the grounds. This redesign made space for expanded green areas and walking routes.
The library and outdoor spaces serve as gathering places where local residents read, exercise, and spend time together throughout the year. The park functions as a social hub where neighbors naturally meet and interact.
The park opens at 5 AM and closes at 9 PM, allowing plenty of time for morning or evening visits. The recently built children's playground is easy to locate within the grounds.
A small zoo within the park houses monkeys, ducks, and other animals that visitors can observe up close. This little collection stays hidden among the greenery and often goes unnoticed by casual visitors.
