A refreshed green space in Sathorn packed with outdoor things to do in Bangkok with kids.
A much-loved community park in Sathorn has officially reopened following a major renovation. The revamp brings an expanded green space, improved facilities with playgrounds, walking paths and nature trails, marking it as one of Bangkok’s Best Parks & Green Spaces.
Chalermprakiat Park 80th Anniversary of His Majesty the King was closed for renovation for nearly a year to address deteriorating facilities, excessive hard surfaces and limited daytime usability. The revamp focused on restoring its environmental balance, increasing greenery and improving safety, accessibility and sustainability for long-term public use.
What is Chalermprakiat 80th Anniversary Park?
This multipurpose community park spans around 17 rai (approximately 28,000 square metres). Established in 2007 to honour His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great on the auspicious occasion of his 80th birthday, the park was designed around the philosophy of sufficiency and harmonious living with nature.
Built on state-owned land in Sathorn, the venue has long served as a space for relaxation, learning and community activities. Landscape features include pond bridges, lotus ponds, fountains, sculptural walls and multipurpose buildings, creating a calm environment in the middle of the city.

Before the renovation, large concrete areas made it feel hot and less comfortable during the day and some facilities had become worn over time.
Today, the park feels greener and more welcoming, with nearly 4,000 square metres of added greenery, more shade trees, lawns and plants and much less concrete. Here’s what families can expect.

A scenic walkway now stretches over the water, offering peaceful views and a lovely spot for an afternoon stroll.
