Chak Phupha Su Maha Nathee Park
Bangkok, Thailand
Increasing green space is one of the goals of Bangkok as it strives to become a green metropolis or a Green Bangkok 2030. The aim is to increase green space per population from 6.9 square meters to 10 square meters by the year 2030 to meet international standards. However, it's not just about the quantity of green space but also about accessibility.
Chak Phupha Su Maha Nathee Park is a new public park with an area of 26 acres that was recently opened for public use. This park is an extension of the Queen Sirikit Park and serves as a major connecting route from Kamphaeng Phet 3 Road along the river, leading into the Queen Sirikit Park area. It also provides a shortcut to the Chatuchak Park. In the future, if there are road connections to Chatuchak Park, it will be the shortest route to access Chatuchak Park and Queen Sirikit Park from both the skytrain and subway.
If anyone is wondering, the area of Chak Phupha Su Maha Nathee Park is the former JJ Green night market, which has transformed from a hardscape and dry urban space into a lush city forest. It promotes interaction between humans and nature, serving as a place for recreation, learning, and accommodating various urban activities to ensure a sustainable coexistence. This park is dedicated to communicating the relationship between the forest, water, and people, with its heart being the "water" flowing from the water-rich area that acts as a natural water filter. It then flows into the main watercourse, visible and accessible from all areas within the park.
On both sides of the watercourse include the landscape and activities which have transformed throughout. It is surrounded by a diverse forest landscape with various types of plants on different terrains, including hills, slopes, plains, and low-lying areas with water retention. This creates a multifunctional space and enhances biodiversity within the ecosystem. Additionally, it serves as a botanical garden that collects and showcases plants that Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother cultivated as part of her royal duties throughout the country, from the northern to the southern regions. These plants are displayed under the name "Chak Phupha Su Maha Nathee" as a tribute to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit on the occasion of her 90th birthday anniversary.
The highlight feature of this park that captures the attention of anyone who enters is the 20 meters Observation Tower. It has a spiraling walkway inside and various viewing points at different heights. The first viewing point is 4 meters high, and each subsequent point is 3 meters higher, offering different angles and perspectives of the surrounding garden. The top level is 16 meters high, provides panoramic views in all directions, and is set near the original tree canopy, allowing observers to closely witness the natural features and changes at each level. Even though the building currently stands out in contrast to the green garden, its external structure is made of metal grids, which will allow various climbing plants to grow in the future, eventually, the building will blend seamlessly with the garden.
Furthermore, there is a pedestrian bridge that serves as an additional viewpoint, allowing visitors to see the entire garden from above. There is also a water-play area where people can interact with the water in the watercourse which has been treated to be safe for contact, thanks to the water-rich area that filters it. The park also offers a variety of landscapes, including grassy slopes and areas for play and learning, all accessible to everyone.
Chak Phupha Su Maha Nathee park stands as another sustainable development example, addressing physical challenges efficiently and aligning with a favorable environment. It focuses on water management, using low-maintenance and long-lasting materials, and incorporates future-oriented management practices.
