How can this park in Songjiang be more convenient for the people?, But I can only "get into the dark"! The lights are dim and there are no guardrails, making it a great destination area for summer nights
Entering Wulonghu Park from the intersection of Rongxing Road and Guangfulin Road, as soon as she turned into the fitness trail area, Ms. Ma skillfully took out her phone and pressed the flashlight button. Relying on this small white beam of light, her exercise time was able to start smoothly.
Wulong Lake Park is located in the International Ecological Business District of Zhongshan Street, Songjiang District. The park is built along Wulong Lake and has abundant green resources, as well as public facilities such as fitness trails. However, it is such a "good place for summer nights" that in recent days, citizens have repeatedly "roast" that it is too dark!

Pedestrian walkway cannot see incoming people
After receiving feedback from the citizens, the reporter went to the scene as soon as possible. At around 21:00 that evening, when the reporter entered the park from the north square located on Guangfulin Road, many citizens had just entered the park. It is understood that Wulonghu Park is an open urban park with no opening or closing hours. As the weather gradually heats up, the peak flow of people at night is also being postponed.

The light on a square is not dim: the hydrophilic platform that extends all the way to the center of the lake has lit up variable lights, and sculpture lights and landscape night lights from across the lake are also delivering light to this side. A grandpa who came to walk his dog told reporters that as long as the weather is good, he would almost activity on this square every night. "The environment is good and the lighting is beautiful," he said, "but it's not very convenient to walk further inside."
What exactly is inside? The reporter walked eastward along the lakeshore, and soon the vegetation on the lakeshore obscured the lights from the other side. As they moved away from the hydrophilic platform, the radiation range of the variable lights could not be covered. At the pedestrian walkway, visibility has significantly decreased. The reporter noticed that only one side of the pedestrian walkway is equipped with ground lights, with a spacing of about 10 meters. Due to the influence of the ground light style, it does not directly illuminate the road surface, and the lighting effect is not ideal. In addition, there is no guardrail installed on the side of the walkway near the lake shore, which makes walking here quite shocking.

Only one side of the trail is equipped with ground lights, and the side adjacent to the lake has no lights, making it difficult for reporters to see people coming.
As we walked eastward, the lights became increasingly dim, even making it difficult for reporters to see the situation of the people coming from the opposite side. There is a vegetation rich area on the roadside, and the remaining row of street lights is also covered. "If you want to take a quick walk here, it's safer to turn on the flashlight yourself." Ms. Ma, who often comes here to exercise, told reporters that some of the small roads in the park don't even have a night light. "Although it creates an atmosphere of 'winding paths and seclusion,' it is still a park that is open all day and does not have 24-hour security, so its safety is indeed worth discussing."

There are no street lights on both sides of the path.
Citizens suggest that park facilities consider safety factors

When visiting the park, the reporter found that the nighttime lighting settings in Wulonghu Park are quite complex. Except for the dimly lit pedestrian walkway area on the north side, there are no night lighting facilities installed on the south side pontoon. But in fact, there are still many areas within the park that are relatively bright. For example, in the area along the pedestrian walkway further east, although only one side is still equipped with ground lights, the lights are directly shining on the ground, resulting in higher brightness; For example, in the southern area of the park across from Wulong Lake, higher street lights are used in many places, providing a larger lighting range. Around the park, you can see various night light styles with varying effects.
There is no light on the south pontoon bridge.

Use street lights at the southern walkway, with bright lighting.
In front of the fitness trail on the north side, the night light style has changed and is also relatively bright.

The relevant staff of Zhongshan Street International Ecological Business District in Songjiang District explained this. Originally, the construction of Wulonghu Park was divided into four phases when it was completed. The equipment and construction plans used in each phase were different, and corresponding lighting effects were specially set according to different green landscapes during the design. "The pedestrian walkway area on the north side, which has received more feedback from citizens, belongs to Phase II. The landscape lighting construction was just completed last year, hoping to create a hazy and comfortable effect, allowing citizens to feel a peaceful and leisurely atmosphere." The staff said.
"There is still a need to find a balance between creating atmosphere and shaping safety." Currently, many citizens, based on their own experiences, call on park facilities to consider safety factors more. In terms of lighting settings, it is possible to increase the number of night lights in areas that involve daily fitness for citizens, and refer to other areas to choose styles with better lighting effects as much as possible. At the same time, in lakes without guardrails, it is also possible to consider installing warning signs, etc., to avoid unnecessary safety hazards in cool summer nights.
