Century Park, park in Longhua District, People's Republic of China
Century Park is an 8.4-hectare public park in Longhua District, downtown Haikou, completed in October 2013 at a cost of about 28.28 million RMB. It consists of a grassy area and a large open area at the west, where the park meets Haikou Bay; the north side is at the mouth of the Haidian River. The Haikou Century Bridge travels over part of the park.
The park opened in October 2013 with a budget of about 28 million yuan, making it one of Haikou's newer public spaces. Since its creation, it has quickly become an important part of daily city life, used constantly by residents for leisure activities.
The park takes its name from the nearby Century Bridge, which crosses over it and shapes the local landscape. The open lawns and pathways are used daily by local residents for walking, exercising, or gathering with friends and family.
The park is free to visit year-round and can be accessed at any time, making it a flexible destination for visitors. The grounds have a neat, flat layout with well-kept pathways and lawns, making it easy to navigate and explore different sections.
The Haikou Century Bridge crosses over part of the park, so the bridge structure passes above the grounds. The park covers 8.4 hectares and was completed in October 2013 at a cost of about 28.28 million RMB. On May 28, 2017, a concert featuring Jay Chou took place here.
