ShanShui Green Ecological Park Introduction
The Shanshui Green Ecological Park is a park rehabilitated from the Sanjhongku Sanitary Landfill in Nangang, which opened on October 27, 2013. Covering an area of 21 hectares, it is the largest park in Nangang District and a great place for citizens to relax, injecting new vitality into Nangang. The Sanjhongku Sanitary Landfill is located in the valley of Sanjhongku Mountain at the southeastern corner of Nangang District, adjacent to Shenkeng District in New Taipei City, hence the name. It is Taipei City's second standard sanitary landfill, covering an area of approximately 65 hectares, with a landfill area of 30 hectares and a capacity of about 6.17 million cubic meters. The 21-hectare area of the landfill has been completed and converted into green space through vegetative reclamation, transforming the landscape significantly from that of the original landfill, reminiscent of the poetry of the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Zongyuan. Thus, it is named "Shanshui Green Ecological Park." The Shanshui Green Ecological Park features various facilities built using existing abandoned structures on site, along with interactive and game-oriented environmental education displays. Additionally, every Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, children’s games (stilt walking, hoop rolling, and spinning tops) and bicycles are available for public use free of charge. The spacious grounds are also ideal for kite flying, and the observation deck within the park offers a panoramic view of Nangang urban area and the Neihu mountainous region during the day, while at night, visitors can enjoy the night view of National Freeway No. 3 and No. 5. It is the best place for families to get close to nature and experience ecology.
