Gucun Park, Urban park in Baoshan District, Shanghai, China.
Gucun Park is a large urban park in Baoshan District with lakes, gardens, and pathways winding through green landscapes. The grounds include playgrounds, dining options, and recreational facilities designed for walking, relaxing, and exploring.
The park opened in 2009 as part of Shanghai's urban renewal effort to create green spaces across the city. Development and expansion continued over the following years to build the varied facilities and landscapes visitors see today.
The name references the historic Gucun Water Games, a tradition visitors can still encounter through plaques and monuments scattered throughout. This connection to local heritage gives the space meaning beyond its modern recreational purpose.
The easiest arrival is by metro lines 7 and 15, which connect directly to the main entrances. The park operates during daylight hours, and comfortable walking shoes are helpful since the grounds are extensive and require exploring on foot.
The park features unexpected attractions like pedal boats on the lakes and 3D dinosaur exhibits that surprise visitors. This blend of nature and interactive experiences makes it particularly appealing for families exploring together.
