The Xiluo Bridge was historically nicknamed the 'Far East's longest bridge' upon its completion in 1952.
The bridge is painted a distinctive red, which makes it a prominent visual landmark against the Zhuoshui River landscape.
The construction of the bridge originally involved international cooperation and remains a significant symbol of post-war infrastructure in Taiwan.
The park is located on the floodplain of the Zhuoshui River, which is the longest river in Taiwan by main stem length.
The Xiluo Bridge parenting park play area is a family-oriented recreational space integrated into the historic landmark site of the Xiluo Bridge. The park features modern playground equipment specifically designed for children, situated directly beneath the iconic red iron-truss bridge. This historic structure, built in 1952, spans the Zhuoshui River and was once the longest bridge in Taiwan. The play area utilizes the riverbank setting to provide open space for families, combining industrial heritage with contemporary public utility. It serves as a community hub that allows visitors to view the bridge's engineering up close while children utilize the facility.
