The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ) has launched” Suan 50 Suk,” its most recent public park in Soi Sukhumvit 50, as part of its effort to increase green spaces in city communities.
In Soi Sukhumvit 50 in the Klong Toey region, the area is a 13-rai page beneath the Chaloem Maha Nakhon Expressway. Since February 22, it has been run by the BMA, PTT Global Chemical Group, and Ichitan Group in a joint venture.
Suan 50 Suk Park was built on an abandoned piece of land that the Klong Toey District Office spotted and proposed to the BMA as a common area, according to lieutenant governor Chakkaphan Phewngam to the Bangkok Post.
BMA arranged discussions with related parties, including the Expressway Authority of Thailand ( EXAT ), two companies, and locals.
After the debate, it was agreed to turn the left area into a playground. Suan 50 Suk is given because Suan, which is a park located inside Soi Sukhumvit 50, means delight.
Mr. Chakkaphan claimed that the area has a recreation area and a running record for exercise. The area also has an area for art events, a dog park, and place for colleges to sponsor school activities like traveling.
He claimed that the BMA and its partners planted about 1, 000 branches on the area, including silver bugle trees, Indian rose cherry trees, and wood trees, for the environment.
Additionally, the park has a garbage collection area that encourages residents who live outside to individual waste in the name of reuse and more effective disposal techniques.
One of Suan 50 Suk’s employees told the Bangkok Post that the area, which is open from 5 am to 8 pm, has security guards stationed there around the clock.
People enjoy going to the park on vacation and after work. On average, about 20 individuals visit the park per time.
” I want more people to know about the park”, he said.
Kitti Daeng- on, a bicycle horse, said he was an odd customer. He claimed that it’s a little silent because not many people are aware of it. When the plants start to grow and can aid ward off the sun’s rays, he also hopes to see more color in the area.
Sakunrat Tongthongkum, a native, said having an open green place near her house is encouraged. It could serve as a place for youngsters to play games in addition to stores and cafes.
The Suan 50 Suk Park is part of government Chadchart Sittipunt’s natural initiative, which locals can accomplish within a 15- minute walk, also known as the” 15- minute parks” project.
He anticipates turning capital abandoned buildings into green areas for residents.
The government aimed to establish 500 gardens within his four- time phrase, or by 2026.
So far, the BMA has launched about 130 people gardens, said Mr Chakkaphan.
