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.
Gucun Park hosts the Shanghai Cherry Blossom Festival, first held in 2011 and repeated every year since. The park's planning follows a layout described as "one axis, one belt, three zones and seven gardens".
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.
Inside the park, Gucun Park Dinosaur World shows life-size reproductions of dinosaurs, and there is also a paintball field. The address is 4788 Hutai Lu, near Huandao Lu, and Gucun Park station on line 7 serves the site.
