Shanshui Green Ecological Park Introduction
The Shanshui Green Ecological Park is a park that rehabilitates the landfill area of the Shanzhiku garbage sanitary landfill in Nangang. It opened on October 27, 2013, and covers an area of 21 hectares, making it the largest park in Nangang District and a great place for the public to relax, injecting new vitality into Nangang. The Shanzhiku garbage sanitary landfill is located at the southeastern corner of Nangang District, bordering Shenkeng District in New Taipei City, named after the Shanzhiku Valley. It is the second standard garbage sanitary landfill in Taipei City, covering an area of approximately 65 hectares, with a landfill area of 30 hectares and a capacity of about 6.17 million cubic meters. Of the 21 hectares within the landfill area, rehabilitation through vegetation planting has transformed it into green space, drastically changing the landscape from the original landfill. It invokes the imagery from the poem "Fisherman" by the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Zongyuan, hence the name "Shanshui Green Ecological Park." The park features several facilities constructed using abandoned existing structures, along with interactive and game-oriented environmental education installations. Additionally, every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., children can borrow traditional toys (stilt walking, hoop rolling, spinning tops) and bicycles for free. The spacious grounds are also a great spot for flying kites. The viewing platform in the park offers a panoramic view of Nangang city and the Neihu mountain area during the day, and at night, visitors can enjoy the night scene of vehicles on National Freeway No. 3 and No. 5, making it an ideal place for families to get close to nature and experience ecology.
