Dongshan Lake Park, Urban park in Guangzhou, China
Dongshan Lake Park is an urban park in Guangzhou featuring a central lake with walking paths, gardens, and open spaces for recreation. The layout connects multiple planted areas and recreational facilities that spread throughout the grounds for visitors to explore.
The park was built in 1961 as Reservoir Park and opened to the public in 1966, taking its name from the water feature at its center. Over time it became a recognized recreation site at the regional level.
The park received recognition as a provincial-level scenic spot in 1991 from the Guangdong Provincial People's Government, marking its regional importance.
The park is accessible by bus through multiple routes that serve the main entrances near Reservoir Central Station and East Lake Passenger Station. Facilities on site include restrooms and designated areas for picnicking.
The grounds contain eleven distinct garden areas including an arboretum and a rhododendron sculpture collection scattered throughout. These sections are connected by a three-arched bridge that becomes a notable feature when crossing between different planted zones.
