Heti Park is a linear riverside park situated along the banks of the Love River in the Sanmin District of Kaohsiung. The park serves as a green corridor featuring paved walkways, mature shade trees, and integrated bridge structures. It functions as a recreational space for the surrounding residential neighborhood. The landscape design incorporates elevated viewing platforms that overlook the waterway. The park is characterized by its urban layout, connecting various sections through pedestrian paths that run parallel to the riverbanks. It provides a localized respite from the surrounding high-density Sanmin District architecture.
