Yingfeng Riverside Park

Traveler highlights

Yingfeng Riverside Park lies along the Keelung River, stretching from Dazhi Bridge to the Zhongshan Freeway. Renovated in 2002, it covers about 600,000 square meters of riverside floodplain reshaped into public green space. Facilities include cycling paths, sports courts, and areas for skating, softball, soccer, baseball, croquet, and mini golf. Visitors can bike, play sports, or walk through the lawns, with views opening from the bridges and river to the broad parkland. The park also contains Taiwan’s first dog exercise park, opened in 2006 on about one hectare and enclosed with fencing and double gates to separate dogs from other park users. Access to riverside parks depends on water conditions: the land remains part of the river’s floodway during flood season and is available for recreation outside flood-prevention periods. Its interest lies both in the sports facilities and in how floodplain management accommodates greenery and public recreation.
