The park occupies the site of the original Taitung Railway Station, which served as a vital transit hub until its closure in 2001.
The circular 'birthday cake' structures are designed to function as both sculptural art installations and multi-level viewing platforms.
The park preserves decommissioned train tracks as a permanent historic memorial to the regional rail history.
It was developed as part of a city-wide initiative to revitalize abandoned industrial transit corridors into green urban spaces.
Birthday Cake Park, locally known as Taitung Art and Culture Park, is a large public recreational space situated on the site of a former railway station. The park is defined by its vibrant, multi-tiered circular structures that resemble a tiered birthday cake, from which it derives its English name. It features extensive open lawns, paved walking paths, and specialized play zones for children. The park serves as a hub for local leisure and hosts various open-air community events throughout the year. It provides direct connectivity to the nearby Taitung Railway Art Village through an interconnected path system. The landscape design integrates historical railway tracks and repurposed industrial elements into the modern park infrastructure. It is located at the intersection of Siwei Road and Zhejiang Road in Taitung City.

Carry sun protection, as the park is largely exposed with limited natural shade in the central activity areas.
Plan your visit to coincide with the adjacent night market or railway art village events for a combined cultural experience.
Bring a bicycle if you intend to explore the full extent of the connected park system extending toward the Taitung coast.
Avoid visiting during the peak heat of midday without adequate shade or hydration, as the park has minimal overhead shelter.
