Crescent Lake Park is a beautiful urban oasis tucked into the heart of Phu My Hung in District 7. The park is centered around a semi-artificial lake approximately 3.4 hectares in size, which is shaped like a crescent moon—hence its poetic name.  Around the lake there are winding walking paths, green lawns, and tall trees, offering a fresh retreat from the bustle of the city.  One of the park’s most iconic features is the Starlight Bridge (Cầu Ánh Sao). At night, this pedestrian bridge transforms into a shining spectacle with LED lights, colorful waterfalls, and reflections dancing on the water below. It’s especially romantic in the evening when the lights come alive.  What I like: early morning strolls here are peaceful and calming, and later in the day, the sunset view across the lake is wonderful. The setting is ideal for relaxing, chatting with friends, or finding a quiet corner to reflect. The cafés, restaurants, and stores around the lake and nearby Crescent Mall also make it easy to combine nature with city life.  If there were any drawbacks, it might be that it gets quite crowded in the evenings and during weekends, particularly around the bridge when the lights are on. Still, the ambience more than makes up for it. Overall, Crescent Lake Park is one of my favorite spots in Saigon—a place where nature, architecture, and community blend beautifully.

Great park to jog around at night. The bridge is the only area where you'll need to slow down and watch out for walkers and folks taking photos. I ran across the bridge after the rain and noticed some parts can be slippery (be careful). The bridge is lit up with rotating colors that line the side of the bridge which makes it very romantic for couples. I saw a few that was posing for photos. The park ground on opposite side of the restaurants only have few areas with lights and most are dark due to trees. During the day is probably better for venturing in there. Starbucks and Highland Coffee is located opposite the park where restaurants are. Had a chance to visit our during the day (opposite side of the pond where thecoffee shops were) and it was nearly empty. Very nice areas with shade for a picnic. Saw some dogs with their owners (even though there were signs not allowing dogs). Welcome to Vietnam? 😆

Beautiful park, one of the best in Ho Chi Minh City. Pet-friendly. Get there between 5-5:30pm and you'll always enjoy a beautiful sunset. Perfect for families, but also very romantic for your significant other. Also good for exercising or just a casual stroll to enjoy the serene and idyllic scenery. Check my photos, I hope they help!

Today, I felt so lucky that I spent my time reading books under the trees, having a walk around the park & enjoying the atmosphere that people had here on the weekend. Such a peaceful and lovely place for any kind of activities like camping, picnic, skateboard, shooting, checkin’... and even lying on the grass!!! Just enjoy the warm air of spring time! 😍

Beautiful scene. It is like small central park version but no so many sitting area with chairs. Great scene with lotus flowers and plants. Great place

Walking in this area in the afternoon is very pleasant cos it is quiet and you see the sunset. Evening is when the crowd start coming in. There are restaurants and cafes by the way. During Lunar New Year they set up flowers where sponsors build kiosks for games and photo booths. It is a nice place to take friends who are visiting for only a few days and you want to take them somewhere off the busy streets of the city.

Nice experience. The area I feel is in its infancy and will be much better in 12 months. Ideal for a stroll,photo shoots Etc. Drastically requires resting area's for seniors Etc.
