Development history

Hengshan Park was originally built by the Council of the French concession in 1925. In May 1926, the project was completed and opened to foreigners. Because the park is located on beidang Road (now Hengshan Road), it is named beidang park. In 1963, it was renamed Hengshan park. Since 1965, due to the needs of construction projects, it has stopped opening to the outside world. It was reopened on April 10, 1987

And the park has been adjusted appropriately.
