The park is situated at the gateway to the Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area, a major lagoon-based tourism zone.
The area is strategically positioned near the mouth of the Donggang River, which historically served as a significant commercial fishing port.
The park's layout was engineered to facilitate coastal defense and erosion management alongside public recreation.
It provides one of the most accessible land-based viewpoints for observing the ferry traffic traveling to and from Xiaoliuqiu island.
Zhenhai Park is a coastal recreational space located in Donggang Township, Pingtung County, situated directly along the shoreline of the Taiwan Strait. The park serves as a critical junction connecting the urban area of Donggang to the coast, featuring a prominent sea wall and promenade. It is specifically designed to provide panoramic views of the ocean, including sightings of the nearby Xiaoliuqiu island on clear days. The park grounds include integrated fitness equipment, walking paths, and structured seating areas overlooking the water. It functions primarily as a local community hub for sunset viewing and leisure physical activity. The area is maintained to provide open access to the intertidal zones and sandy stretches along the Donggang coastline.
