Maple Tree Foot Park Introduction
The first large-scale playground in the country themed around giraffes. The design is inspired by the local residents’ description of it as an "urban zoo," where giraffes can be seen amidst the grasslands and existing trees, observing the city. The park features a slide reaching up to 16 meters high and aerial climbing nets, enhancing the play experience for children and satisfying different age groups' adventurous experiences. Fengzhuqiao Park covers approximately 3.5 hectares and is based on "playfulness" and "inclusiveness," with the design theme of "brilliant childhood moments," providing recreational space suitable for different age groups. The park offers various facilities, including an ecological pond, forest waterway, scenic elevated walkway, giraffe playground tower, fitness equipment, restroom renovations, pavement improvements, and retaining large grass areas. Among these, the 16-meter-high "Giraffe Playground Tower" is the highlight, full of challenges and inclusiveness, making it the tallest slide in Taoyuan City. The park is divided into four main zones: Giraffe Play Area: categorized by different floors and levels of difficulty for ages 5-12 and 13 and above, providing children with different perspectives and play experiences connected to giraffes through aerial walkways. Ecological Play Area: designed with an ecological pond and forest waterway adjacent to surrounding farmland, creating an ecological play paradise where children can swing and play alongside birds. Senior Activity Area: designed primarily for the elderly, allowing grandparents to accompany their grandchildren in a fragrant environment full of flowers and birds. The Large Lawn Area: the perfect space for family picnics, running, and flying kites. The entire area incorporates urban disaster prevention concepts, utilizing the large lawn area as an important urban flood detention pond, an ecological rainwater retention pond, and a temporary refuge for urban species, making it a distinctive park that connects the urban ecosystem.
