Chom Nan Chaloem Phra Kiat Park is a primary public recreational space situated directly along the east bank of the Nan River in central Phitsanulok. The park serves as a community hub for fitness and leisure, featuring paved walking and jogging paths that stretch along the riverfront. It is distinguished by its unobstructed views of the Nan River and the nearby Naresuan Bridge. The grounds contain landscaped gardens, exercise equipment stations, and a dedicated plaza area often used for community gatherings. Historical monuments and seating areas are integrated throughout the green space to provide rest points. The park is characterized by its linear layout which mirrors the curve of the waterway.
