Weiwuying Metropolitan Park Introduction
Weiwuying Metropolitan Park was established after decades of efforts, once referred to as the "Green Dream." The motto is, "Let children grow up with grass, flowers, and trees; let loving couples wander in the shade of trees and among flowers; let the elderly have a place to rest, stroll, and exercise; let city residents have a warm green dream." With rolling green hills ahead, there are shaded areas, grassy slopes, and old trees preserved to continue providing shade and nesting spots for birds. It resembles a forest in the city, generating fresh air for the urban environment and letting people breathe freely. The forest is rich in life; as you walk through it, remember to listen, observe, and greet the forest quietly. Weiwuying was originally the site of the Republic of China Army's Eighth Corps, covering an area of 67 hectares. After the corps relocated, the city government transformed 47 hectares into a metropolitan park. The southern part of the park includes Nanhu, Summer Avenue, a children's playground, and the three interconnected buildings left from the Weiwuying area. The former assembly area for new recruits and water tower has been converted into an observation point that offers a view of the whole park, along with a viewing platform, bicycle paths, and large grassy areas. The central open lawn is perfect for running, picnicking, flying kites, and holding performances.
