Dongganghedi Park, also known as the Donggang River Embankment Park, functions as a flood-control and recreational green space situated along the Donggang River in Pingtung County. It features a long, paved waterfront trail that connects to the broader Donggang Township riverside infrastructure. The park serves as a community hub for walking, jogging, and cycling while providing unobstructed views of the local fishing vessel traffic. Infrastructure includes tiered seating areas facing the water and integrated public lighting for evening accessibility. It occupies a strategic position near the confluence of the river and the sea, which is crucial for the local fishing economy. Visitors can observe the movement of boats heading toward the nearby Donggang Fish Market.
