Development history

Before liberation, the garden site was wasteland and cemetery. There was a private garden nearby. At the beginning of liberation, some farmers moved to cultivate vegetables. In March 1958, the people's Committee of Changning District set up the management headquarters of Goubang, which successively took 50000 cubic meters of soil from this land to fill the creek, forming a pit with an average depth of about 2 meters and an area of 24000 square meters. In order to make use of the land, the District People's Committee decided to build a park here.

Shanghai Landscape Management Office invested 140000 yuan and started to build the garden in May of the same year. Sun Jiazheng and Xue Qilin are responsible for the overall planning and greening design of the park. In view of the limited funds, the design is simple, and the earth pit is used as the main scenery of the lake. A stone arch bridge is built in the lake, and a bamboo rain shelter Pavilion is built beside the bridge. There are only more than 10 kinds of trees dominated by willows in the park. The park was opened to the public on October 1, 1959 and named fahua park. Due to the poor landscape and facilities in the park and few visitors, the District People's Committee transferred the park to the District Sports Committee for management at the turn of spring and summer in 1965 and renamed it Changning national defense sports park. At that time, the park mainly provided a place for the armed swimming training of the militia in Changning District, so a revetment, a life-saving platform, a men's and women's changing room, an office, a tool room, etc. were built by the lake.

When the "Cultural Revolution" began in 1966, the militia swimming training stopped, and the lake area south of the stone arch bridge was filled, reducing the lake area by one third. In the near future, 9.82 mu (6547 square meters) of land in the north of the garden was allocated to the kiln factory, the coal brick factory and the leather rubber factory, which were seriously polluted. Since then, the garden has been overgrown with weeds, damaged trees and even fewer visitors.

In April 1973, the park was again under the management of Changning District Garden Management Office. The municipal garden department invested 320000 yuan for comprehensive reconstruction. In April 1973, the project was rebuilt. Zhou Zaichun, the design office of the municipal garden department, was responsible for the planning and design of the project, and the District garden office organized the construction. In the reconstruction project, 100000 cubic meters of soil was excavated, and the part that had been filled in the south of Hulu was excavated into a lotus pond, and the stone arch bridge reappeared on the water. Taking the stone arch bridge as the boundary, the lawn and lotus pool are the main scenery in the south of the bridge, and the open lake is the main scenery in the north of the bridge. A children's garden and a youth activity area are also built.

To commemorate the 33rd anniversary of Mao Zedong's speech at Yan'an Forum on literature and art, the park was reopened on May 23, 1975. The name of the park was changed to Tianshan Park, and the garden board was inscribed by Zhou Gucheng, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. In 1977, Bibo corridor was built in the southeast of Hulu lake. In 1984, Rongshan and Luanshan were stacked on the east side of the lake. In 1985, a scenic island was built in the middle of the park, and a Lake Pavilion was built. In September 1987, the people's Government of Changning District allocated 100000 yuan to build a memorial to the martyrs in Hunan. From April of the same year to September of 1989, the CPC Changning District Committee and the District People's government raised more than 1.3 million yuan to build the national defense education museum.
