Crowd jostles for turf as gates open

118-year-old park welcomes 13,000 after renovation

More than 13,000 people poured into Shanghai's Luxun Park on Thursday morning after its gates reopened following the completion of a yearlong renovation program.

Most were members of more than 50 groups that exercised regularly in the park prior to its closure, and they were determined to reclaim the sections of turf they used before.
