The landscape design utilizes a series of terraced slopes to stabilize the terrain and support native vegetation.
It features a dedicated mountain bike trail system specifically designed for varying skill levels.
The park's wetlands function as a natural filtration system for runoff water, supporting local aquatic biodiversity.
Shanshuilu Eco Park is a reclaimed former landfill site in the Nangang District transformed into a large-scale ecological public space. It features extensive cycling paths, hiking trails, and integrated landscape designs including artificial wetlands and ponds. The park offers elevated vantage points providing panoramic views of the Taipei basin and the surrounding mountains. Amenities include dedicated playgrounds for children and open green spaces for recreational activities. The site serves as an example of urban land restoration, converting waste management infrastructure into community parkland. Its geographical location provides a quiet alternative to the dense urban environment of central Taipei.
