To date, Huai'an has opened a total of 82 shared green park spaces, covering a total area of 166.88 hectares, with lawn areas totaling 113.53 hectares, spanning 10 counties, districts, and zones, including Qingjiangpu District, Economic and Technological Development Zone, and Ecological Cultural Tourism Zone. A large number of green spaces have become "urban living rooms" where citizens can enter, camp, and picnic, turning the vision of "greenery right outside the windows and parks just steps away" into reality.
In 2023, in accordance with the Notice on Carrying Out Pilot Work for the Opening and Sharing of Urban Green Park Spaces from the General Office of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and relevant documents from the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Huai'an scientifically formulated the Implementation Plan for the Pilot Opening and Sharing of Urban Parks and Green Spaces in Huai'an City and the Guidelines for the Maintenance and Management of Open and Shared Lawns under the Rotational System in Huai'an City, establishing a solid institutional foundation for the city's green space sharing efforts.
During implementation, Huai'an has adhered to the principles of "zoning and timing, with scientific rotation" to gradually implement rotational lawn maintenance, ensuring landscape effects while meeting the activity needs of citizens. Simultaneously, Huai'an has equipped shared green spaces with supporting facilities such as public toilets, drinking water fountains, fitness equipment, children's playground facilities, camping sites, and security monitoring systems, providing convenient services and emergency safety measures.
In recent years, various localities in Huai'an have explored the unique resources of each park based on their actual conditions, incorporating diverse cultural elements like traditional opera, fitness, and reading spaces. By actively organizing flower appreciation, fitness activities, science popularization, lawn concerts, study tours, and photography activities, they have formed a lasting park brand effect, ensuring that citizens and tourists are willing to come, stay, and enjoy themselves.
