The park is engineered as a 'flood-detention' area designed to safely contain overflow during heavy rainfall without flooding urban centers.
The park features a specialized 'Olympic-sized' sand pit and beach area known as the Erchong Lucky Star Beach.
The site connects to a massive cycling network that links New Taipei City’s major riverfront parks together through a continuous trail system.
The park contains the 'Chenmei Riverside Park' section, which is a major hub for organized youth baseball tournaments in northern Taiwan.
It spans a length of approximately 7.7 kilometers, effectively acting as a massive green lung for the densely populated Sanchong District.
Erchong Floodway Riverside Park is a sprawling multi-functional green space located within a controlled flood diversion channel along the Dahan and Tamsui Rivers. The park spans over 400 hectares, making it one of the largest riverfront parks in the Taipei metropolitan area. It features an extensive network of cycling paths, including a dedicated cycling circuit that encircles the entire floodway. Facilities include the 'Lucky Star' artificial beach area, multiple soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and basketball courts. The park serves both as a recreational zone and a critical hydraulic infrastructure project designed to manage floodwaters during typhoon season. Landscaped areas incorporate seasonal flower displays and designated zones for ecological conservation. The park is characterized by its wide, flat terrain which allows for unobstructed views of the surrounding Sanchong and Banqiao skylines.
The elevated paths near the bridges crossing the floodway offer the best panoramic views of the entire park layout.
Bring high-SPF sunscreen and a hat, as there is minimal natural tree cover across the vast, open plains of the floodway.
Rent a YouBike or a local private bicycle, as the park's immense scale makes traversing the full length on foot impractical.
Check the official New Taipei City High Riverbank Construction Management Office website for flood warnings, as park sections may close temporarily during heavy storm surges.
Do not enter the floodway area if there are official heavy rain or typhoon alerts issued, as the park is designed to flood.
The park may be partially or fully closed during typhoon season or major storm events for safety and hydraulic management.
Stay on designated cycling paths to avoid collisions with local athletes and cyclists.
