The park is named after the founding date of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
It features a prominent collection of modern abstract sculptures by various Vietnamese artists.
The layout is designed to facilitate pedestrian flow along the riverbank while buffering the noise of Le Loi street.
It is a primary viewing point for the annual Hue Festival fireworks displays.
The park serves as a green corridor that preserves the riverfront from commercial building encroachment.
February 3 Park, known locally as Công viên 3 Tháng 2, is a long, linear park stretching along the southern bank of the Perfume River in Hue. It serves as a central promenade for the city, connecting the area near the Truong Tien Bridge to the western districts. The park is characterized by its wide, paved walkways, landscaped greenery, and multiple contemporary sculptures dispersed throughout the lawns. It provides direct, unobstructed views of the Huong River and the historic Citadel on the opposite bank. The park is frequently used by locals for early morning exercise, evening strolls, and community gatherings. It also hosts occasional art installations and public events celebrating Hue’s cultural calendar.
The riverbank edge directly across from the Citadel’s main flag tower for a balanced composition.
Visit during the early morning to observe local residents practicing Tai Chi and aerobics.
Walk the entire length of the park to transition from the busy Truong Tien Bridge area to quieter, more shaded sections further west.
Keep a light jacket or umbrella for sudden riverfront breezes or light showers.
Do not attempt to swim in the river; the current is stronger than it appears and it is not a designated swimming area.
