Shanshui Green Ecological Park Introduction
The Mountain Water Green Ecology Park is a park developed from the rehabilitation of the Sanjhakou 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 Sanjhakou Sanitary Landfill is located in the southeastern corner of Nangang District, at the junction with Shenkeng District in New Taipei City, hence the name. It is the second standard 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 landfill area, 21 hectares have been completed and transformed into green space through vegetative rehabilitation, greatly changing the landscape of the original landfill. The park’s name, "Mountain Water Green Ecology Park," is inspired by the lines from the poem "Fisherman" by the Tang dynasty poet Liu Zongyuan, reflecting the essence of nature. Within the Mountain Water Green Ecology Park, many facilities are built using existing abandoned structures from the site, and interactive and playful environmental education facilities have been established. Additionally, every Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, toys (such as stilts, hoops, and spinning tops) and bicycles are available for free for public use. The spacious grounds are also an excellent place for kite flying. The park's observatory allows visitors to enjoy views of the Nangang urban area and the Neihu mountain range during the day, while at night, the traffic lights of National Highways 3 and 5 can be admired, making it the best recreational spot for families to get close to nature and experience ecology.
