New Taipei Metropolitan Park (Erchong Floodway Riverside Park) Introduction
Located in the New Taipei City's Metropolitan Park, "Bear Monkey Forest Paradise" officially opened in July 2020. The park covers an area of 4 hectares and combines the imagery of Taiwan's unique animals to create the largest all-age inclusive slope slide playground in Taiwan. The entire area features 31 large and small slides, over 100 play facilities, making it not only a playground where children can play crazily from morning till night but also a great place for adults and children to have fun and relieve stress together! From a high viewpoint in the Bear Monkey Forest Paradise, visitors can see a colorful sky, mountains, forests, and streams representing different themes, while Taiwan's national treasure animals are transformed into large amusement facilities hidden within these themes, such as the Formosan Blue Pheasant pebble slide, Formosan Blue Magpie climbing net, Cherry Salmon climbing seat, and Taiwan Black Bear swings. Nearby explanatory signs introduce animal names, habits, and sizes, achieving an educational yet entertaining effect. The other side of the signs provides detailed information on appropriate ages and safety notices for the amusement facilities, ensuring that children explore and play safely in this fun and challenging playground. The diverse and adorable animals also offer plenty of photo opportunities for adults! Thoughtful design allows for nighttime enjoyment as well. Bear Monkey Forest Paradise has parent-child toilets and multiple accessible pathways nearby, creating a considerate design that allows travelers to enjoy freely. The park is currently open from 6 AM to 10 PM, and it is recommended to visit in the evening during the hot summer days when the lighting is ample, making it a perfect paradise for children's nighttime parties. A Water and Land Paradise In the summer of 2022, the "Sea World Water Park," covering an area of 1,500 square meters, opened, continuing the theme of Taiwan's unique animals established by Bear Monkey Forest Paradise.
