According to the proposal, the project will feature comprehensive infrastructure upgrades including roads, sidewalks, plazas, retaining walls, riverside walkways, stepped seating areas, ramps, curbstones, tree beds, parking areas, sports fields, and playgrounds. A designated pedestrian route will stretch the entire length of the river.

The total land area allocated for the park is approximately 738,000 square meters. The project will run along the To Lich River and pass through 12 urban wards: Ngoc Ha, Nghia Do, Lang, Giang Vo, Cau Giay, Yen Hoa, Thanh Xuan, Dong Da, Khuong Dinh, Dinh Cong, Thanh Liet, and Hoang Liet.

In addition to the basic infrastructure, the project includes architectural highlights such as service facilities, visual landmarks, auxiliary structures, extensive landscaping, and other recreational amenities.

The preliminary total investment is estimated at over VND 4,665 billion (approximately USD 190 million). The project is proposed under a build-transfer (BT) model, with compensation to investors in the form of land. The city has earmarked about 94 hectares in Phuc Thinh commune for this purpose, including 47.6 hectares of commercial land (36.9 hectares for residential use and 10.7 hectares for commercial services).

The project is expected to begin in Q3 2025 and conclude by Q3 2027.

The investment policy adjustment will be reviewed at the upcoming 26th session of the Hanoi People’s Council. If approved, the project is scheduled to break ground on the 71st anniversary of Hanoi’s Liberation Day (October 10, 1954 – October 10, 2025).
