New Taipei Metropolitan Park is a massive urban green space spanning 424 hectares along the Erchong Floodway. The park serves as a multifunctional flood-retention basin that doubles as a recreational facility during dry periods. It features an extensive network of cycling paths connecting to other riverside parks in the metropolitan area. The park is home to the 'Lucky Children’s Paradise,' an expansive area featuring themed play zones with giant slides and climbing structures. Its layout includes large grassy expanses, ecological wetlands, and manicured floral landscapes that change seasonally. It acts as a primary lung for Sanchong District by reducing urban heat and providing significant open space. The infrastructure is designed to be resilient against flooding, with many facilities constructed from durable, weather-resistant materials.
