The park was designed to double as a detention basin to regulate the flow of the Aliao River during monsoon season.
The project is a collaboration between the Pingtung County government and local water resource agencies to repurpose flood-prone land.
It features native vegetation plantings specifically chosen to withstand periodic river inundation.
The site includes wide-span pedestrian bridges that connect different sections of the riverside trail system.
Ligang Riverside Park is a prominent recreational space located along the bank of the Aliao River in Pingtung County. The park is distinguished by its extensive ecological green space and specialized water-retaining features designed to manage local flood risks. It serves as a community hub, integrating wide walking paths, leisure seating, and landscaped river views. The facility utilizes the natural floodplain to provide open-air exercise zones and protected wetlands for local flora and fauna. It functions primarily as a sustainable urban buffer that balances recreational needs with regional environmental maintenance. The site remains a core component of the Pingtung County government's local riverside revitalization initiatives.
