However, five years since the completion date has passed, the project is now still incomplete with many works being abandoned for a long time and covered with wild grass.

Some works have deteriorated.

A local man, Nguyen Van Nga, said that he was very sad to see this project being left stagnant for such a long time while local residents in the area really need a park.

Answering deputies at a National Assembly meeting last year, Minister of Construction Nguyen Thanh Nghi said that Hanoi now has a total of 63 public parks and some other parks developed by investors in urban areas. "Many park projects are now facing difficulties relating to site clearance, and planning and capital adjustments, including the Chu Van An Park, Astronomy Park, and Phung Khoang Lake Park," he said.
