The flora selection focuses heavily on native Taiwanese plant species to promote regional biodiversity.
The site acts as a key link in the 'Qiyan Ecological Park' corridor, which connects several smaller public green spaces.
Its construction was part of a larger urban planning initiative to transition former industrial or low-density land into eco-friendly residential zones.
Qiyan No.1 Park is a neighborhood green space in Beitou District designed with a focus on ecological sustainability and native plant conservation.

It is part of a larger interconnected network of parks in the Qiyan residential area, characterized by flat, paved walkways and diverse botanical landscaping. The site emphasizes community recreation, offering open spaces for exercise and leisure while maintaining a quiet, residential character. Its design prioritizes permeable surfaces and water management to mitigate the urban heat island effect common in Taipei. The park integrates well with the surrounding hillside vistas, providing a clear vantage point toward the mountains of the Beitou region.
