The park was transformed from a former refuse landfill site into a public green space as part of local urban environmental restoration efforts.
The elevated observation points provide clear vantage points for observing the North Hualien coastline without obstructing local bird flight paths.
The site uses natural land contouring to assist in water drainage and prevent soil erosion from coastal winds.
Hualien Environmental Park is an expansive coastal green space built upon a former landfill site in Hualien City. The park features a distinct landfill-to-park ecological rehabilitation design aimed at restoring local biodiversity. Visitors can utilize elevated walking paths and wooden boardwalks that offer panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the coastal mountain ranges. The area is intentionally landscaped with native vegetation to encourage bird migration and local insect populations. It serves as a recreational buffer between the urban Hualien residential areas and the coastal strip.

Bring adequate sun protection as the park has minimal natural tree canopy in many open sections.
Visit during the shoulder season to avoid extreme humidity and peak heat.
Bring binoculars if you are interested in bird watching, as the coastal location attracts migratory species.
Do not wander into unmarked or overgrown grassy areas as they may be part of ongoing ecological monitoring or habitat zones.
Stay on marked wooden boardwalks and paved paths to protect restored soil areas; pack out all trash.
