Over 20 years ago, this was the business center of used car parts and engines imported from abroad, well-known among Thai people. Grids of shop houses with the kerbs thick with grime and solidified greases were a common sight. Without the childhood background of this place, it's near to impossible to imagine what this area looked like before the park was built. After the leases of these shop houses expired, I never expected this downtown area would be turned into a public park. Thumbs up to Chulalongkorn University in creating it, and in a very tasteful and elegant way as well. Now there's a park to rest the eyes and get refreshed with, not to mention it's where you can work out easily.

An Amazon café has opened there too. Adjacent to it is "I'm Park", which was formerly part of สวนหลวง fresh market in the past too.
