The Geological Memory of Tianfu: Luhu Red Rock Park and the Red Sandstone Wonderland

A "Living Fossil" of Site Memory

1.Located in the heart of Luxelakes: Eco-City (Luhu) in the Tianfu New District of Chengdu, Luhu Red Rock Park stands as a model community park that perfectly embodies the "Park City" philosophy. Covering a total planned area of approximately 150,000 square meters, this unique green space is not just a recreational area but a tribute to the land's geological history. During the construction of the surrounding residential clusters, builders unexpectedly unearthed massive, full-bodied Red Sandstone blocks formed approximately 250 million years ago. Instead of discarding these "waste" materials, the designers used them as the core element of the park, transforming the ancient red earth into a "living fossil of site memory." Today, these rough, warm-hued stones are artfully integrated into outdoor furniture, fountains, retaining walls, and paving, creating a dialogue between the prehistoric geological past and modern urban life,.

2.The Most: Interactive Children's Paradise

The park is widely celebrated as "Chengdu's most interactive children's playground." In the core Sun Valley area, the design maximizes the natural valley terrain to create a multi-dimensional play space. The centerpiece is a spectacular Tree-Threading Slide that stands as high as a five-story building, allowing children to slide through the canopy in a thrilling descent. The playground also features adventurous rope climbing nets, trampolines, zip lines, and sand pits, all of which are free to the public. These dynamic facilities are seamlessly connected with the Sunshine Lawn, providing a space where children can run wild while parents relax nearby. It is a true energy-release heaven for families, blending physical activity with the joy of exploration,.

A Symphony of Ecology and Leisure

Beyond the vibrant play areas, Luhu Red Rock Park offers serene static spaces for adults and the elderly. The Chess Forest (Qiyu Lin) features square red stone tables and chairs set under the shade of camphor trees, perfectly catering to the local "slow life" culture of playing chess and chatting. The park also incorporates a Central BBQ Area, making it a popular spot for neighborhood gatherings and weekend picnics filled with the scent of "fire and smoke." Ecologically, the park is a demonstration of the "Sponge City" concept. It utilizes the natural elevation differences of the slopes and valleys to collect rainwater into creeks and wetlands. Combined with ornamental grasses and red stone walls, this creates a wild and rustic landscape that changes with the seasons—from cherry blossoms in spring to lotus flowers in summer and golden leaves in autumn,.

3.Modern Design: Meets Nature: The Tree House Park

As the park expands, new areas like the Tree House Park (Phase 4) introduce innovative modern designs. This section features folded-line tree houses that provide three-dimensional traffic and elevated views of the water. A large water surface of about 10,000 square meters offers a cool retreat, complemented by a cherry blossom waterfront and a "bird's nest" viewing point. Children can explore shallow wetlands to observe plants and animals, while a zigzag bridge connects the banks, and an infinity pool adds a touch of vacation-style luxury. Whether you are looking to explore geological wonders, enjoy family fun, or simply relax in a "natural oxygen bar," Luhu Red Rock Park offers a diverse and enriching experience that redefines community living in Chengdu,.
