Bade Pond Ecological Park Introduction
A gathering of chickens, ducks, and geese, the pond's fun fair is not in a rural area, but rather a place for environmental education that combines friendly ecology and leisure recreation. Covering an area of 5 hectares, Bade Pond Natural Ecological Park resembles a green ark, allowing people to escape the noisy traffic on Xingfeng Road, listen to the most natural "animal and plant symphony," and enjoy the incomparable comfort of being close to nature. The towering banyan trees at the main entrance of the park excite travelers to embark on this green journey. Along the trail, passing the park management center, there is a scenic café where the warmth of the wooden structure pairs perfectly with handmade bread, cookies, and hand-brewed coffee, filling the itinerary’s blank space with a delightful afternoon tea. After satisfying the taste buds, curiosity leads to further exploration of the park's rich ecology. The pond, which retains its irrigation function, is also a vibrant natural area; it is populated with aquatic plants such as Taiwan water lettuce, hornwort, lotus, and water jasmine, while the pond's edge features various shrubs and trees. With the changing seasons, one can also look forward to surprise encounters with tree frogs, dragonflies, white egrets, wild ducks, water birds, and other animals! In addition to the pond-side trail, the park includes waterfront shorelines, wetland platforms, scenic elevated pavilions, and wooden walkways, all serving as spots for travelers to closely observe diverse ecosystems. To avoid disrupting wildlife habitats and to maintain the pond, all park facilities are built using natural methods. Beyond the water's edge, the park also features an open grassy square, bustling with people sitting on the ground for picnics and running around during holidays. Due to its expansive area and unique nature, the park has been designated as one of the exhibition areas for the "Taoyuan Landscape Art Festival." At the secondary entrance of the park, one can see the large installation art piece "Four-Eyed Frog."
