Benchasiri Park was opened in 1992 to commemorate Her Majesty the Queen’s 60th birthday. One of a few parks in the Sukumvit area, it is situated next to the Emporium shopping centre. It is not one of Bangkok’s larger parks, but it is very well designed and maintained. The park also features a number of sculptures and other works of art. Set in a very urban environment, close to a major road and an exclusive shopping centre, Benchasiri Park offers a somewhat unique and relaxed perspective on city life.
The park renders the atmosphere of serenity, which distinctly contrast with the outside world. As a tribute, there is a 3 meter sculpture of H.M. the Queen in a standing posture. According to the concept to be "Park of Sculptures", so several pieces of sculptures created by well-known artists are presented throughout the area, reflecting delicate art, new idea and philosophy of artists.
The park has a lot of activities for the people coming to park who are looking for a pleasant evening like a huge sports ground, roller-skating ground, swimming pool and kid’s playground. Music is also played inside the park all the time to entertain you while working out or jogging inside the park. Aerobic dances is also one of the main activities inside as there will always be a teacher making you dance and work out in different tunes. The park lies in the middle of the main business and shopping districts so people can come relax at the park after all the hard work during the day.
