For most Tianjin people, the water park has a memory related to their youth. Indeed, for old Tianjin people, the water park has left them with too many beautiful memories.

For most Tianjin people, Water Park has a memory related to their youth. Uncle Zhang, a 62-year-old retired employee, said: "The water park was my favorite place in my childhood. It has my happy childhood memories. When we were in love, my wife and I decided to spend our lives in the water park. Now, My grandson is three years old, and I often take him to the water park to look for the memories of my lost youth..." Indeed, for old Tianjin people, the water park has left them with too many beautiful memories.

Children and citizens playing in Tianjin Water Park in the 1970s.

Most of the photos are students. This should be a collective garden activity organized by the school. At that time, schools often organized such garden activities, which not only increased students' knowledge, but also brought them physical and mental pleasure.

As you can see from the photo, the four characters "Celebrate June 1st" are hung above the gate of the water park. From these four words, it can be inferred that this photo should have been taken in May and June. This is a lukewarm day. In good seasons, people can enjoy the fun of visiting the water park.

In 1967, two young people performed songs for free for the masses at the water park.

Older Tianjin residents will definitely feel familiar with this photo, right? The person playing the accordion in the photo is named Meng Xianhong, and the person standing and singing is the famous singer Jiang Dawei . Both of them are from Tianjin.

At this time, Jiang Dawei was not famous yet, but he had loved singing since he was a child and often went to the water park with his friends to practice singing. In the 1950s and 1960s, the water park was the first choice for many young friends to gather and practice singing. The water park also witnessed the growth of many literary and artistic youths in Tianjin.

A mini train in Tianjin Water Park in the 1980s.

In the photo, there is a small green train. A group of seven or eight-year-old children are lying on the window of the carriage and waving in the direction of the camera lens. The children seem very excited. At the crossing below the train stood a little girl with an armband on her arm and a flag in her hand. She was simulating directing traffic. I saw this little girl holding a green flag, indicating that the train could pass safely. She directed the train in a graceful manner, just like a real traffic conductor.

In the 1980s, many amusement equipment suitable for children were added to Tianjin Water Park, such as bumper cars, pirate ships, flying Trojans... Of course, the small train is still everyone's favorite amusement item. Every holiday or Sunday, many Tianjin children will beg their parents to take them to the water park. The small train in the water park carries the happy childhood memories of generations of Tianjin people.

In 1985, Tianjin Water Park was viewed from a high altitude.

Tianjin Water Park was founded in 1951. It was originally a park developed from wasteland. There are several large puddles in the park and the water surface is very wide, so it is called "Water Park". Due to limited funds at the time, the newly built water park was very simple, basically dominated by trees, flowers, and natural landscapes.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Tianjin's water park underwent large-scale upgrades. Several large puddles were connected together, and pavilions and pavilions were built in the park, making the water park begin to take shape. .

The Tianjin Water Park in 1985 was well constructed and was one of the largest parks in Tianjin. The park not only had pavilions and pavilions, but also boats for tourists to row and other recreational facilities. In the 1980s, the greening of the water park was also very good. The air here was fresh and it was a popular leisure place for Tianjin people.

In the 1970s, the Tiaoyuan Pavilion in Tianjin Water Park.

The Tiaoyuan Pavilion is a landmark building in Tianjin Water Park. This pavilion was built in the 1950s. The pavilion is 27 meters high. Before the 1980s, standing on the selection pavilion, you can enjoy a full view of the Tianjin Water Park. The scenery, the entire water park has a panoramic view.

Many old Tianjin people should have climbed up to this overlooking pavilion, right?

In the winter of 1989, a reporter from Tianjin’s Tonight News drove a interview car to the water park to shoot the snow scene.

The van on the right side of the photo is Tonight's interview vehicle. It is said that this is the first mobile interview van in the country, and it contains various shooting equipment and live broadcast equipment.

The water park in the photo is covered with white snow, and beautiful rime hangs on the weeping willow branches by the lake. Several reporters walked up from the ice in the lake in the park. It seems that they have already chosen the photo. Attractions.

As you can see from the photo, there are still some tourists playing on the snow-covered lake in the park, and the trees and pavilions in the lake are also covered with snow. The water park in winter has a unique charm.

Tourists rafting in Tianjin Water Park in the 1980s.

Cruise boats are one of the most popular amusement projects in Tianjin Water Park. Since the establishment of the park in the 1950s, there have been cruise boats in Tianjin Water Park for citizens to have fun and exercise. Every holiday, many tourists come to Tianjin Water Park to row boats and enjoy the holiday leisure time.

In the photo, there are two groups of tourists rowing boats on the water. There were many people rowing at that time, and even primary school students could buy tickets to row. Looking back now, I realize that the safety measures at that time were not in place. For example, the two groups of tourists boating in the photo did not wear life jackets. If a capsizing accident occurs, it may be life-threatening.

Finally, I present to you a set of Tianjin water park tickets and boating tickets collected by an old Tianjin citizen.

These tickets were used by Tianjin Water Park in the 1980s and 1990s. They include individual tickets and monthly passes. It can be seen from the ticket that the water park ticket price at that time increased from 5 cents to 10 cents, 2 cents, and later to one yuan.

After the 1990s, Tianjin water parks have gradually become more market-oriented. Tickets have risen again and again. By 2009, water park tickets even rose to 30 yuan a piece, which made many Tianjin people forget to hesitate.

However, with the implementation of policies that benefit the people, the ticket system was canceled in Tianjin Water Park in July 2009. Now, tourists can enter the water park for free, and the water park has become a real park, where people can visit, exercise, and enjoy a good life.
