The park is located in Cau Giay and Thanh Xuan districts with a total area spanning over 140,800m2 including over 44,800m2 in Cau Giay district and 96,000m2 in Thanh Xuan district.
It has a total investment of over VND298.7 billion (US$13.44 million) sourced from the budget of Thanh Xuan district. The land clearance for the park began in 2003 with a total expense of roughly VND40 billion (US$1.8 million).
The park covers an area of around 13.23ha including a lake measuring 8ha to regulate and drain water, along with a recreation centre and an outdoor sports ground with an area of 5.2ha, among several other facilities.
It is scheduled to be built in 390 days and completed by June 2017.
Addressing the ground-breaking ceremony, Chairman of the Thanh Xuan district's People's Committee Nguyen Xuan Luu emphasised the necessity of building the Nhan Chinh park, saying that Thanh Xuan district has a large population size but is yet to have a park to serve the recreational needs of local people.
