Chengmei Riverside Park Introduction
Chengmei Riverside Park is located between the Chenggong Bridge and the Maishuai Bridge along the Keelung River (on the Neihu side). On weekends, you can see groups of people, each focused on their own devices just a few meters apart, including remote-controlled cars, digital single-lens reflex cameras, and more. Interestingly, it's often the adults who are more enthusiastic than the children! The park features various sports facilities, including tennis courts, basketball courts, softball practice fields, a skating rink, parallel bars, and fitness equipment, providing Taipei citizens with ample space for exercise. Connecting the Chengmei Left and Right Bank Parks is the "Rainbow Bridge," known for its bright red color and unique design, resembling a rainbow arching over the river. The bicycle path beneath the bridge is spacious, while the river embankment walls are covered in green vines, with the wall base displaying a wave-like shape that echoes the Rainbow Bridge. Elevators are available at both ends of the Rainbow Bridge, allowing easy access to the embankment for people with disabilities, elderly individuals, and those with strollers, reflecting thoughtful barrier-free design. There is also a bike-pulling path in the middle of the stairs, allowing bikers to pass through easily. At Chengmei Riverside Park, visitors can capture panoramic views of Taipei 101 against a backdrop of blue skies and white clouds. After nightfall, the shimmering waters of the Keelung River create a harmonious scene, making it a popular spot for photography enthusiasts.
