Haikou, Hainan Daily, May 12 (Reporter Wang He) Recently, a reporter of Hainan Daily learned from Haikou Municipal Administration of Gardens and Environmental Sanitation that in order to facilitate citizens' leisure, Haikou plans to build 10 "pocket parks" this year on the basis of 20 "pocket parks" built last year, so that the ideal life vision of "pushing the window to see green, going out on the spot" is within reach.

Focus on culture and functionality

"Pocket Park" refers to a park greening activity site that is open to the public, small in scale, diverse in shape, and has a certain recreational function. The area is generally between 40 square meters and 10000 square meters, including small parks, small and micro greenbelts, etc.

On the evening of May 11, the reporter from Hainan Daily came to the Xirui Park at the southwest corner of the intersection of Changbin Fifth Road and Changbin West Second Street in Xiuying District, Haikou City. This park is one of the 20 "pocket parks" built in Haikou last year. In the park, a group of old people in sportswear are dancing; Not far away, children were playing and chasing, and there was a loud laugh.

"There are flowers, grass and trees in the 'pocket park' in front of my home, as well as a lot of fitness equipment, which is a good place for leisure and entertainment!" Ms. Meng, a resident of Yitai Tianjiao Community, said that before, she had to go to the West Coast Tingxiu Park 1 km away to exercise. Now there is a small park downstairs, which meets the needs of taking children for walking and fitness at ordinary times.

Before last June, Xirui Garden was located in a scattered green space with single function. In order to implement the construction of the project of "building 20 pocket parks in the main urban area", one of the 10 municipal level livelihood realities in Haikou in 2023, Haikou Landscape and Environmental Sanitation Administration Bureau, with the support and cooperation of Haikou Development and Reform Commission, the Bureau of Assets Planning, the Bureau of Finance and the Xiuying District Government, completed the land adjustment and handover of the project and built "pocket parks".

Last year, Haikou completed the construction of 20 "pocket parks". During the construction, we will pay attention to the cultural and functional nature of "pocket park". For example, Xiuying District is positioned as ecological and interesting, Longhua District is positioned as fashion and charm, Meilan District is positioned as modern and colorful, and Qiongshan District is positioned as cultural and simple. Up to now, 162 "pocket parks" have been built in the city.

Corner space enhances the city image

"The 'pocket park' creates green spaces close to life for citizens. Although it is small, it has complete functions. It can not only provide leisure and entertainment places for citizens, but also improve the quality of the urban environment and enhance the overall image of the city." The person in charge of Haikou Municipal Administration of Gardens and Environmental Sanitation introduced that with the continuous progress of the construction of the "pocket park", It not only improves the sense of happiness and gain of citizens' life, but also reflects the people's yearning for quality life.

During the construction of the "pocket park", Haikou pays attention to the excavation and utilization of the marginal, fragmentary and idle land in the city. Through reasonable planning and design, they will become a good place for citizens to have fun. This practice not only increases the green area of the city, but also provides more fitness venues for the citizens, meeting the people's expectations of "300 meters to see green, 500 meters to see the garden".

"This year, 10 'pocket parks' are planned to be built after all formalities for the project land have been completed," said the head of Haikou Landscape and Environmental Sanitation Administration. At the same time, we will carry out the renovation of garden green space and exposed loess, so that people can go out and enter the garden, see green and enjoy shade on the road, and create a more livable environment for citizens.
