Colorful fitness trails, brand-new convenient seats, and exquisite garden landscape sketches...... With the upgrading and renovation of the "Galaxy Community" pocket park located at the north entrance of Qinghe Road in Saihan District gradually coming to an end, it has also become a good place for surrounding residents to relax and exercise. "The park has changed its old look, it has really changed a lot, and it can be reached in a few minutes by foot, adults and children alike!" Residents who live in Riverside Bay said.
The "Galaxy Community" pocket park was originally a dense green space planted with shrubs and trees, and from Zhaowuda Road all the way to the south, a rich green will come into view. However, the service facilities in the green space are old, and the trees are too densely planted, making it difficult for the public to enter.
"The park plans to implement a green area of 8,746 square meters, which was originally a long-abandoned, overgrown green space, taking into account the needs of surrounding residents, the garden department takes 'pushing the window to see the green, going out into the park' as the goal, on the basis of the original terrain, laying color permeable roads, improving the overall road network, and at the same time building a new activity square and other fitness areas, matching the corresponding site space and facilities for residents who exercise in the morning and walk the corner." Guo Xinghua, head of greening of Hohhot Saihan District Urban Development Investment Co., Ltd., introduced, "In order to do a good job in the upgrading and transformation of the park, we have conducted many surveys in the early stage and determined that the planting area of 17 varieties of flowers in the park is 799 square meters, the greenway area is 1659 square meters, and the wooden plank road is 76 square meters. However, the existing green space road network has a single function and cannot meet the daily needs of citizens. Therefore, after sorting out the relationship between the entire road network, we decided to add a new main park road, which runs from east to west and connects the activity venues of the entire park. In the process of upgrading and transformation, based on the original site attributes and resources, according to the surrounding environment and current situation of the node, the trees and shrubs with good growth are retained, the vacant trees are replanted, the plant varieties are increased, the original ecological value and ornamental value of the site are restored, and the characteristics of the grassland city are displayed. ”。
Today, the huge butterfly-shaped landscape stands on the south side of the "Galaxy Community" pocket park and has become a new check-in point for citizens. It is not only divided into children's activity venues, youth activity venues, and elderly activity venues, but also divided into activity spaces and leisure areas according to different functions, which meet the needs of citizens for exercise, fitness and leisure and entertainment.
Parents can not only play happily when they walk into the park with their children, but also learn a lot of knowledge. The park uses the facilities in the venue, the arrangement of plants and the audio broadcast to promote natural science knowledge to the public. Landscaping workers use the felled trees on the spot, use dead branches as bird stakes, dead leaves as compost bins in the site, and sawdust as carriers for insect hotels, which has become an outdoor propaganda base for display and popular science education.
After upgrading and renovating the "Galaxy Community" pocket park, under the principle of "forest is forest, irrigation is irrigation, grass is grass, and suitable place for trees", the plants of the entire site are planned and designed, which not only improves the surrounding environment of the Galaxy Community Service Center and enhances the happiness of residents, but also creates an urban micro-green space at the same time, and upgrades and transforms the protective green space at the beginning of the establishment of Jinqiao Development Zone into a service-oriented urban "micro-space".
