Hidden Gem! A Niche Paradise in Qingpu – The Ultimate Family Destination

Oh, the struggles of being a parent! It's so hard to find a place where kids can run wild and connect with nature. But hard work pays off! I discovered an amazing forest playground in Qingpu Park and had to share it with all you parents! I. Basic Information Address: South Bank of the Dianpu River, Qingpu District, Shanghai (near Dianshan Lake Avenue Station, Metro Line 17) Tickets: Free Parking: Parking is available next to the park. It's free for the first half hour, only CNY 7 for 8 hours, and a maximum of CNY 12 per day. II. Featured Areas Children's Playground: Located in Nanjin Garden with a variety of facilities. Younger children can enjoy the slides and seesaws, while older children can challenge themselves on the climbing wall and the brave road, which includes climbing nets, ropes, and wooden stakes. There is also a cycling path designed specifically for children, where they can unleash their energy. Nature Exploration Area: The park is built with the concept of an "exploration park," emphasizing interactive natural elements. Children can fully experience nature by visually observing flowers and plants, aurally listening to birdsong, tactilely touching leaves, olfactorily smelling flowers, and gustatorily tasting wild fruits (while ensuring safety), stimulating their desire to explore. Outdoor Activity Area: The large lawn is a great place for picnics, camping, kite flying, and playing frisbee. The free basketball court is lit until 9pm, making it a great place for family exercise. The waterfront trail offers beautiful scenery and is perfect for family walks and bike rides. III. Hidden Surprise – Rose Garden Deep in the park lies a 1,500 square meter rose garden. During the May Day holiday, the roses here are in full bloom, with delicate and beautiful flowers, making it perfect for families to enjoy the flowers together. The adjacent lawn is suitable for camping and kite flying, and you can also see ships slowly passing by, which is why it is known as the "Little Bund" of Qingpu. IV. Travel Tips What to bring: Bring a fishing net and water gun to enjoy playing in the shallows. Don't forget your balance bike for the cycling path. If the weather is hot, be sure to bring mosquito repellent, or you will easily be targeted by mosquitoes. Pets: This place is pet-friendly, but remember to keep your pet on a leash and be a responsible pet owner. I highly recommend this forest playground in Qingpu Park! It's not as crowded as those popular attractions, allowing children to play freely in nature, learn knowledge, and develop observation and exploration skills. For us parents, it's a great way to relax with the kids and enjoy a leisurely family time. On weekends or holidays, stop letting your kids play on their phones and watch TV at home. Bring them here and experience the charm of nature! From the city center, take Metro Line 17 to Dianshan Lake Avenue Station, and it's just a short walk away, making transportation super convenient. You can also drive, and you don't have to worry about expensive parking fees. Whether you're traveling with your family or with a few friends, this is an excellent choice. Make arrangements quickly, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with this treasure of a place!
