Chengmei Riverside Park Introduction
Chengmei Right Bank Riverside Park is located between the Chenggong Bridge and the Maishui Bridge along the Keelung River (Neihu side). During weekends, you can find groups of people, each focused on manipulating their own gadgets just a few meters apart, with remote-controlled cars and digital single-lens reflex cameras, and interestingly, it's the adults who seem to be more enthusiastic than the children! The park features numerous sports facilities, including tennis courts, basketball courts, softball practice fields, skating rinks, pull-up bars, and fitness equipment, providing more space for residents of Taipei to engage in sports. Connecting the Chengmei Left and Right Bank Parks is the "Rainbow Bridge," which has a bright red body and unique design, resembling a rainbow spanning across the river. Underneath the bridge, the bicycle path is spacious, and the riverbank wall is covered with green vines, presenting a wavy appearance that echoes the Rainbow Bridge. At both ends of the Rainbow Bridge, there are elevators that lead directly to the top of the embankment, making it easy for people with disabilities, the elderly, and those with strollers to ascend without the need for strenuous climbing. The barrier-free design is quite thoughtful, and there is a bike towing path in the middle of the stairs, allowing cyclists to pass through easily. At Chengmei Right Bank Riverside Park, you can also capture a full view of Taipei 101 against the backdrop of blue skies and white clouds; after nightfall, the surface of the Keelung River glistens, creating a harmonious scene that attracts many photography enthusiasts.
