The facility is specifically designed to function as a temporary emergency supply distribution center and shelter during natural disasters like typhoons.
It is situated in a high-density urban corridor where it functions as one of the few large-scale open-air recreational spaces available to the public.
The rubber track surface is maintained for year-round low-impact running and walking exercises.
The park serves as the primary outdoor training ground for several local Xizhi school sports teams.
Xizhi District Sports Ground, also known as the Disaster Prevention Park, serves as both a primary local athletic hub and a critical emergency response facility for New Taipei City. The facility features a standard 400-meter rubberized track surrounding a multi-purpose grass field used for soccer and community events. Elevated seating areas offer views of the surrounding urban landscape of Xizhi. As a designated disaster prevention park, the site is engineered with specialized drainage and open spaces to accommodate emergency shelters during regional climate events. It is a focal point for neighborhood fitness, hosting daily routines for local residents, jogging groups, and school physical education classes. The integration of sports infrastructure with civil defense utility makes it a unique example of multi-functional urban planning in Taiwan.
