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
salty water) 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.
