Olympic Forest Park, Urban park in Aoyuncun, China
Olympic Forest Park is an urban park spanning 680 hectares with two main sections connected by an ecological bridge. The grounds feature lakes, elevated terrain, and extensive walking paths throughout the area.
This space opened in 2008 as part of Beijing's Olympic infrastructure and includes the National Tennis Center built for the Summer Games. It was specifically developed to host international sporting events.
The park functions as a place where schools and families come to observe nature and learn about the environment outdoors. Visitors can watch birds and discover the local plants and animals that live here.
The park has 11 planned entrances; the south gate is the main one, and two first-class entrances on the North Fifth Ring Road serve drivers. Paths are graded by width: first-class 8 m, second-class 4.5–6 m, third-class 1.5–3 m, with electric-cart routes and stops along the main roads. The park is divided by the North Fifth Ring Road, so allow time to cross between the south and north gardens.
The Grand Music Fountain on the south bank of Aohai can shoot water up to 80 metres high, changing the water's shape to match the rhythm of the music. Bleachers on the open-air square face the lake, so the show is watched from the southern shore rather than from boats.
