Chengmei Riverside Park Introduction
Chengmei Riverside Park is located between the Chenggong Bridge and the Maishui Bridge along the Keelung River (on the Neihu side). Every weekend, you can find groups of people engrossed in various activities just a few meters apart, playing with remote-controlled cars, digital single-lens reflex cameras, and more, with adults often showing more enthusiasm than children! The park is equipped with numerous sports facilities, including tennis courts, basketball courts, softball practice fields, skating rinks, horizontal bars, and fitness equipment, providing Taipei residents with more space for exercising. Connecting the Chengmei Left and Right Bank Parks is the "Rainbow Bridge," which is bright red, with a unique design that resembles a rainbow arching across the river. Under the bridge, the bike path is spacious, and green vines crawl up the riverbank retaining walls, which are also wave-shaped, echoing the design of the Rainbow Bridge. Elevators are located at both ends of the Rainbow Bridge for easy access to the top of the embankment, making it convenient for people with disabilities, the elderly, and parents with strollers, showcasing a thoughtful barrier-free design. There is also a bike towing path in the middle of the stairs, allowing cyclists to navigate easily at both ends. From Chengmei Riverside Park, you can capture a panoramic view of the Taipei 101 building under the blue sky and white clouds; after nightfall, the shimmering water of the Keelung River creates a harmonious scene, making it a favorite spot for many photography enthusiasts.
