Design and features
Fenghe Park was designed as a multifunctional green space combining stormwater management infrastructure with public recreation. The park includes floodwater detention facilities and four ecological ponds supplied by the Taoyuan irrigation system. Aquatic plants in the ponds include species such as yellow water lilies and arrowhead plants, supporting local biodiversity.
The park contains extensive lawn areas of more than 30,000 m2 (320,000 sq ft), walking trails, bridges, and shaded boulevards planted with a variety of tree species, including camphor, wax apple, mango, Chionanthus virginicus, chinaberry, and flame tree. Environmental education activities are occasionally organized around plant identification and ecology.[2]
Public art from the 2017 Taoyuan International Driftwood Art Festival is displayed in parts of the park.[3][4]
Recreational facilities
Fenghe Park is known for its children's play facilities. The playground area includes sand pits, swings, balance beams, rocking equipment, and multiple slides built into the site's natural elevation changes. The park contains seven slides in total, including a large roller slide approximately 20 m (66 ft) high and 50 m (160 ft) long, as well as several terrazzo slides.[5] The open lawn is used for informal recreation such as ball games, kite flying, and picnicking. Observation platforms and walking paths provide views across the park.[6]
Regulations
Fenghe Park is the first park in Taoyuan City where the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) has been officially prohibited, due to safety and privacy concerns.[7][8]
