The park was historically the site of the Fudekeng Sanitary Landfill, which served Taipei for decades before being capped and rehabilitated.
The solar power plant installed at the site is one of the largest ground-mounted photovoltaic systems within the Taipei metropolitan area.
The park's high elevation and lack of surrounding tall buildings make it a popular site for stargazing on clear nights.
It is one of the few designated legal zones in Taipei where enthusiasts can operate sophisticated radio-controlled aircraft without interference.
The park is a significant example of Taiwan's urban sustainability initiatives, turning a former waste management liability into an ecological asset.
Fudekeng Environmental Restoration Park is a reclaimed landfill site transformed into a multi-use green space featuring a large-scale solar power installation. The park is highly regarded in Taipei as a premier location for operating remote-controlled model aircraft, with a designated professional-grade flight runway. The site features extensive fields of elevated solar panels that generate renewable energy for the local grid. It offers expansive, unobstructed views of the Taipei Basin and the surrounding mountain ranges. The landscape includes open grass slopes often used for kite flying and casual recreation. It serves as an active environmental education site demonstrating waste-to-energy and land reclamation principles.

Bring a hat and sunglasses, as the park features very little natural shade in the open fields.
Check the wind conditions before visiting if you are planning to fly model aircraft.
Carry your own water and supplies as on-site vendor availability can be inconsistent.
Do not wander into restricted maintenance areas surrounding the solar panel arrays.
Respect the designated flying zones for model aircraft to avoid collisions or interference with hobbyist equipment.
