Cần Thơ water park revitalization

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, reports highlighted that Cần Thơ’s “Green Lung” water park had fallen into disrepair, with deteriorating facilities and neglected infrastructure.

By early August, the city’s People’s Committee announced plans to revive the site. The Soc Trăng Ward’s committee will take over the 20‑hectare Hồ Nước Ngọt cultural area, conduct an inventory of existing assets, repair unsafe sections, and strengthen environmental protections. An auction will be organised to grant exploitation rights to a qualified investor, aiming to develop tourism, cultural, sports, and exhibition activities while preserving the park’s landscape and community space.
