Shanshui Green Ecological Park Introduction
Shanshui Green Ecological Park is a park built on the site of the Trash Sanitary Landfill at Shanjuku in Nangang District, which underwent restoration and opened on October 27, 2013. Covering an area of 21 hectares, it is the largest park in Nangang and a great place for citizens to relax, injecting new vitality into the area. The Shanjuku Trash Sanitary Landfill is located at the southeastern corner of Nangang District, bordering the Shenkeng District of New Taipei City, named after the Shanjuku Valley. It is Taipei City’s second standard sanitary landfill, occupying approximately 65 hectares, with a landfill area of 30 hectares and a capacity of about 6.17 million cubic meters. Of the 21 hectares of the landfill area, rehabilitation has transformed it into green space, dramatically changing the landscape from the original landfill, reflecting the essence of the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Zongyuan's poem "Fisherman." The park was thus named "Shanshui Green Ecological Park." Within Shanshui Green Ecological Park, several facilities have been constructed using existing abandoned structures, and interactive educational interpretation facilities have been installed for games and learning. Additionally, every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., children can borrow toys (such as stilts, rolling hoops, and spinning tops) and bicycles for free. The spacious grounds are also a great place for flying kites. The park's observation deck offers panoramic views of Nangang city and the Neihu Mountains during the day, and at night, visitors can enjoy the night scenery of National Highways 3 and 5. It is the best place for families to connect with nature and experience ecology.
