The biggest problem for Bo Ho as well as for Lenin park is located “outside”: Both need to
offer more parking lots (see figure 4.28 and 4.29). There are several small parking places
surrounding Hoan Kiem lake. Nevertheless, they still do not fulfill the demand due to the
high density of business and visitors in this ancient Hanoi quarter.
In Lenin park, there are normally no official parking lots. By day, park users have to take
care their own about vehicles on the pavements (e.g., to stay closer to it). However, in the
early morning and late afternoon, for instance, when there are several frequent groups doing
exercise, dancing or other sports, a parking service is sometimes available.
