Shanshui Green Ecological Park Introduction
The Mountain Water Green Ecological Park is a rehabilitation park for the garbage sanitary landfill site at Shanzhukou 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 Shanzhukou Garbage Sanitary Landfill is located at the southeastern corner of Nangang District, bordering the Shenkeng District in New Taipei City, in the Shanzhukou Valley, which is how it got its name. It is the second standard garbage sanitary landfill in Taipei City, covering approximately 65 hectares, with a landfill area of about 30 hectares and a capacity of around 6.17 million cubic meters. Of the landfill area, 21 hectares have been completed and transformed into green space through vegetation restoration, presenting a landscape vastly different from the original landfill, reminiscent of the idea expressed in the poem "Fisherman" by Tang Dynasty poet Liu Zongyuan. Thus, it was named "Mountain Water Green Ecological Park." The park features several facilities constructed from existing abandoned structures, along with interactive and game-based environmental education facilities. Additionally, every Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, children's games (such as stilt walking, rolling hoops, and spinning tops) and bicycles are available for free loan to the public. The expansive grounds are also a great spot for kite flying. The park's observation deck offers a panoramic view of the Nangang urban area and the Neihu mountains during the day, and allows visitors to appreciate the nighttime scenery of National Highways No. 3 and No. 5, making it the perfect leisure spot for families to get close to nature and experience ecology.
