Gangshan Park Introduction
Located in the Gangshan commercial area, Gangshan Park covers an area of 5.95 hectares and is the oldest park in Gangshan District, originally built as the Gangshan Shrine. Next to it is the bustling Shoutian Temple, which has long been an important recreational spot for the public. In 2013, the city government undertook a renovation of the park, preserving old trees, demolishing outdated facilities, and refurbishing the shrine’s torii gate. They also implemented grass areas combined with drainage hoses to store rainwater in a 1,200-ton retention pond, and constructed an ecological pond capable of holding approximately 1,600 tons of water to recharge groundwater, allowing the park to return to its natural greenery. The newly established walking paths are user-friendly, offering a serene environment to listen to birds and enjoy the fresh greenery. The renovated library provides spaces for reading and cultural activities. The revamped park is not only more spacious and brighter, but it also features ecological, environmental, and flood retention functions, making it a refreshing oasis in the busy urban area of Gangshan, as well as a beautiful gathering place that combines relaxation and culture.
