PR Newswire - Changzhou's First Pocket Park for Power Facility Protection Opens in Qianqiao Community

——Safety Science Popularization Moves to Residents' Doorstep

CHANGZHOU, China, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Developed jointly by State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company and the Sanjing Sub-district Office, Changzhou's first pocket park themed on power facility protection was officially put into operation in Qianqiao Community, Xinbei District. Built on underused urban "golden corners and silver edges" within an old residential compound, the park serves as an immersive new venue for power safety education, integrating power safety knowledge into residents' daily leisure.

Adopting State Grid green paired with safety warning yellow as its primary color scheme, the site functions as a community classroom combining learning, rest and hands-on science experience. Visitors are first greeted by a hollowed-out themed sign marking the park's mission. Eye-catching sculptures bear the mottos "Life First, Safety Foremost" and "Protect Power Facilities, Build a Better Home". Flip-style science boards and themed bulletin boards line the walkways, citing real cases to interpret laws and regulations governing power facility protection. Creative ground murals use easy-to-understand comic strips to communicate the idea of joint grid protection. Interspersed iron tree-shaped warning signs carry catchy slogans that remind visitors to safeguard power infrastructure. Residents can pick up power safety knowledge immersively while strolling, achieving education through entertainment.

"We used to learn about power safety mainly from leaflets. Now we can learn just by coming down to the park. It also brightens up our old neighborhood. Both adults and kids love coming here," said a local resident visiting the park. By shifting power facility protection outreach from meeting rooms to real-life community spaces, the park fills the gap in local power safety education infrastructure. It brings safety knowledge into communities and households, encouraging public participation in grid protection.

Going forward, State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company will leverage this venue to host regular science lectures, public service experience events and other safety promotion activities to maximize the park's educational impact. The company will further deepen community-grid co-governance, embed power safety culture into urban public spaces, and spread the concepts of power facility protection and mass grid protection into every household and root them in public awareness.
