Daxi Puding Park Introduction
Located in the Puding redevelopment area, about 4 kilometers from Daxi Old Street, Daxi Puding Park is a beautiful backyard for locals. Covering an area of 5.5 hectares, the park is nearly the size of Beitou Park in Taipei, featuring a vast sea of trees, orderly rows of greenery, and refreshing leisure spaces, distinctly different from the bustling atmosphere of the old street! The park is divided into two large sections due to the nearby National Highway No. 2, with the entrance accessed via Gong Park Wujie. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a large arc-shaped retro stone wall exuding an ancient European castle-like timeless quality, with vibrant and colorful Bougainvillea nearby, resembling colorful hydrangeas, while butterflies flit about, inviting visitors into this tranquil garden. Both sides of the park feature recreational sports zones, equipped with a complete set of fitness equipment, including slides and rocking horses for children, as well as pull-up bars and balance trainers. Enjoying aerobic exercise surrounded by lush greenery is certainly more comfortable than being in an indoor gym! Soft mats are laid throughout the area, and wooden tables and chairs are provided nearby for parents to closely watch their children, enhancing outdoor safety. The sky bridge connecting both sides of the park allows visitors to overlook the flowing traffic of National Highway No. 2, with car lights intertwining and flashing at night, offering a rare little happiness amidst the surrounding silence. Traversing the sky bridge leads to the larger heart of the park, where the tree-lined boulevard features Blackboard Trees, Bald Cypress, Maple Trees, Taiwan Red Pines, Small Leaf Tuckahoe, and Koelreuteria Paniculata, combined with vast grassy fields to create a seemingly endless expanse of greenery, displaying beautiful views that rival those abroad! In the park, one can often see people walking, cycling, or flying kites, and families enjoying picnics on the hillside with picnic blankets. If lucky, one might even encounter newlyweds shooting wedding photos. The layers of tree shade filter out the scorching sunlight, gently casting a cooling effect during midsummer. Daxi Puding Park has hosted large cultural events such as the Daxi District Indigenous Peoples Harvest Festival and the Taoyuan Arts Tour, making it a cultural hub that combines leisure and landscape within Taoyuan.
