Evolution of construction

Initial construction

The predecessor of the park is the nursery of Tazishan, which is a production base providing seedlings for urban landscaping. It was first built in 1956 and rebuilt in 1984. It was opened to tourists during the Spring Festival in 1987.

Park renovation

The open renovation project of Tazishan Park was officially launched in early September 2011 with an investment of 150 million yuan and is expected to be completed by the end of 2011. After the transformation, Tazishan park will become an open forest park with five functional divisions, rich in mountain forest characteristics, and can provide high-quality public entertainment projects.

The transformation will start from the park opening, supporting construction, rich vegetation, Greenway Construction, functional zoning, quality improvement and other aspects, and strive to transform Tazishan Park into a high-quality forest park integrating leisure and entertainment, sports, cultural experience, close to nature and other functions.

The transformation of Tazishan park will be divided into three steps. Firstly, the fence of Tazishan park will be demolished to achieve the effect of opening the park as a whole. At the same time, the existing old recreational facilities will be demolished to make space for lawn and large shrubbery. The second is the Greenway Construction around the park. This part of the project is mainly to bring the Tazishan greenway into the Shahe greenway system. The project will mainly use the Shahe landscape to create the effect of mountain forest, and focus on building hydrophilic platform and riding trail, including building a 450 meter long Shahe riding greenway from the north gate to the South Gate of the park. Finally, all kinds of existing facilities in the park will be upgraded, including the improvement of vegetation landscape and supporting facilities. After the completion of the park, there will be many lawns, outdoor tennis courts and basketball courts for tourists to play on for free.

The renovation of the park will be carried out in two phases. The first phase will be completed before the end of the National Day holiday. The reconstructed Tazishan park will be seen in October 2011, and the second phase will be completed by the end of 2011. However, during the first phase of closure construction, Tazishan park will be temporarily closed to the public.

Picnic area

The park's picnic area was closed during the 2010 Spring Festival due to air problems. In March of the same year, the picnic area of Tazishan Park was reopened. However, unlike in the past, barbecue will no longer be allowed in the picnic area. Instead, green cooks such as steaming and boiling will be allowed. The charcoal used in the picnic will also become an environmentally friendly fuel. After the charcoal burning is cancelled in the picnic area, the cost of tourists coming to have a picnic will be greatly reduced, and the minimum per capita is 4 yuan.

The picnics area of Tazishan Park bears a memory of Chengdu people: it is the only open-air picnics area in Chengdu. The history of Tazishan park's picnics began in the 1970s. At that time, Tazishan was still a nursery, and the park had not yet been built. Chengdu people's habit of having a picnic here began at that time. Until the completion of the park, the picnics garden was standardized. At the end of 2002, hundreds of thousands of people invested in building the picnics garden, which can accommodate more than 1000 tourists. Every weekend, the picnics garden is full of people. People bring cooking utensils and vegetables one after another to have a barbecue. 120 stoves are often occupied, and those who come late have to wait in line.
