It utilizes permeable paving materials to facilitate groundwater recharge throughout the park grounds.
Bailusi Park, also known as Egret Park, is an urban green space in Taoyuan District designed to integrate natural wetland features into a residential setting. The park is named after the egrets that frequent the site due to the presence of irrigation ponds and aquatic vegetation. It features a network of walking paths that circumnavigate a central water feature, providing local residents with a recreational area for walking and jogging. The design focuses on sustainable urban drainage and water retention, characteristic of Taoyuan’s traditional irrigation pond landscape. The park is surrounded by densely populated apartment complexes, serving as a primary neighborhood buffer zone. It remains an open-access public facility managed by the Taoyuan City Government.
