April 30 Park

April 30 Park is an urban green space in central Ho Chi Minh City divided by major streets into several rectangular sections with walking paths and planting areas. The park contains benches, trees, and grassy zones that provide recreational space in the heart of the district.

The park was created as a memorial to April 30, 1975, when Saigon fell and marked a turning point in Vietnamese history. This significant date is preserved and honored through the green space in the heart of the city.

Local people gather here to drink coffee and rest on wooden benches beneath the trees, with the green space inviting them to linger in the middle of the city. The place serves as a meeting point for those seeking a break from the busy streets.

The park is open to visitors throughout the day with several entrance points along the surrounding streets and clear walking routes to explore. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when the temperature is more comfortable.

The neighboring street names Han Thuyen and Alexandre de Rhodes honor figures who shaped Vietnamese writing systems and language development. This recognition makes the location a quiet tribute to linguistic and cultural advancement.
