Located in the Udon Thani Municipality, this giant pond has
existed before the establishment of Udon Thani town. Lying to the west of the
town, it was formerly called “Nong Na Klue” (pond of salt) and later changed to
“Nong Prachak” in honor of Major General HRH Prince Prachaksinlapakhom, the
founder of Udon Thani town. In 1987, the Udon Thani Municipality improved the
pond as a royal tribute to King Rama IX on the auspicious occasion of his 50th
birthday anniversary. On an island in the pond, a small garden is filled with
decorative and flowering plants, and there is a bridge linking the island with
the mainland Within the Park,
there is a fountain, a clock tower, and a playground. It serves as a place of
recreation and exercise for the public.
