New Taipei Metropolitan Park (Erchong Flood Diversion Channel Riverside Park) Introduction
Located in New Taipei City’s Metropolitan Park, "Bear and Monkey Fun Paradise" officially opened in July 2020. Covering an area of 4 hectares, the park incorporates Taiwan's unique animal themes, creating the largest all-age inclusive slide playground in Taiwan. The entire area features 31 large and small slides and over 100 play facilities, making it not only a playground for children to play crazy from morning till night but also a great place for adults and children to play and relieve stress together! From a high vantage point, Bear and Monkey Fun Paradise showcases a colorful sky, mountains, forests, and streams in themed areas. Taiwan's national treasure animals are transformed into large amusement facilities hidden within each theme, such as the Formosan Blue Pheasant pebble slide, the Taiwan Blue Magpie climbing net, the Cherry Salmon climbing seat, and the Formosan Black Bear swing. Nearby information boards introduce the animals' names, behaviors, and sizes, achieving an educational and entertaining effect. The reverse side of the boards provides detailed explanations of the appropriate ages and precautions for the amusement facilities, ensuring that children can explore and play safely in an exciting and challenging playground, while the cute animals provide endless photo opportunities for adults! With thoughtful design, the park also accommodates nighttime play. Nearby, there are parent-child restrooms and multiple accessible paths, making it easy for travelers to enjoy themselves. Currently, Bear and Monkey Fun Paradise opens from 6 AM to 10 PM. It is recommended to visit in the evening during the hot summer, as the ample nighttime lighting makes it a paradise for nighttime parties for kids. Aquatic and Terrestrial Fun Paradise In the summer of 2022, the "Ocean World Water Park," covering an area of 1,500 square meters, opened with a design that continues the theme of Taiwan's unique animals from Bear and Monkey Fun Paradise. It features seven aquatic attractions inspired by Taiwan’s special marine creatures, including the Green Sea Turtle, Blue Crab, Mudskipper, Hermit Crab, Penghu Octopus, Moon Jellyfish, and Garden Eel. The park uses slip-resistant flooring to ensure visitor safety and welcomes the public to bring water guns for a fun-filled summer.
