Weiwuying Metropolitan Park Introduction
Weiwuying Metropolitan Park was built after decades of advocacy and was once referred to as the "Green Dream." Its motto is "Let children grow alongside grass, flowers, and trees; let loving couples wander in the shade of trees and among flowers; let the elderly have a place to rest, walk, and exercise; let urban residents have a warm green dream." Moving along the undulating green hills, there are shaded areas, grassy slopes, and ancient trees preserved to continue providing shade and nesting for birds. It resembles a forest in the city, creating fresh air for the urban environment, allowing people to breathe freely. The forest harbors rich life, and while walking 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 side of the park includes South Lake, Summer Avenue, a children's playground, and the original three interconnected structures left from the Weiwuying area. The former assembly area for new recruits and the water tower, which has been converted into a lookout point, offers views of the entire park and features viewing platforms, cycling paths, and large grassy areas. The central open lawn allows for free running, picnicking, flying kites, and holding performances.
