Rongxing Garden Park Introduction
Rongxing Garden Park is located in the Zhongshan District, situated in the city center. It is bounded by Longjiang Street to the east, Jianguo North Road to the west, Minquan East Road to the south, and Wuchang Street to the north. The site is rectangular, covering a total area of 6.5 hectares. The park was originally established as a private garden by the community in 1968 and was officially converted into a public park following land acquisition in August 1989, opening for public use. The park underwent three phases of renovation from 2001 to 2006, preserving attractions such as the bougainvillea flower corridor for wedding photography, the Liugong Stream natural wetland ecosystem pond, a water feature performance stage, and a shady square for use during the day and night in the southwest area. It provides various spaces for activities, including areas for dancing, tai chi, a sunny lawn in the northeast, a maple wood trail, leisure pathways, a scenic lotus pond, boardwalks, a children's play area, basketball courts, a red brick running track, a styled management service center, three comfortable public restrooms, and pavilions for group activities such as chess and conversation. In recent years, there has been an emphasis on ecology, with cooperation between local leaders, residents, and experts to restore fireflies in the ecological pond. Ongoing ecological surveys and environmental improvement plans are being implemented, resulting in a stable firefly population, making it one of the rare spots in Taipei City to observe fireflies.
