The layout follows the winding path of the San-Ye-Gong Creek, which historically served as a vital drainage artery for the region.

The park's design incorporates indigenous plant species to stabilize the riverbank soil against erosion.
Tainanshinanqu Riverside Park is a sprawling green space situated along the San-Ye-Gong Creek in the South District of Tainan. The park serves as a critical flood-mitigation landscape while providing extensive paved paths for pedestrians and cyclists. It features interconnected recreational zones, including sports courts and open lawns. The design emphasizes natural vegetation to attract local bird species, particularly near the river embankments. The area is integrated into the city's broader riverbank revitalization project. Visitors have access to designated seating areas strategically placed to overlook the water. The park functions as a localized community hub for exercise and leisure activities. It provides a rare linear stretch of public space in this industrial-adjacent sector of the South District.
