The park is part of a larger urban riverfront transformation project aimed at improving ecological connectivity in the Taoyuan metropolitan area.
It utilizes a 'floodplain-sharing' design, allowing the park area to safely accommodate rising water levels during heavy monsoon rains.
The pathways within the park are integrated into a wider network of regional bicycle trails that follow the Nan-Kan River.
Guishan First Riverside Park is an urban recreational space situated along the Nan-Kan River in the Guishan District of Taoyuan City. The park features a linear design that prioritizes pedestrian and cycling connectivity through the local river corridor. It serves as a green buffer zone within a dense residential and industrial area. The site is equipped with paved multi-use paths, exercise equipment, and open grassy areas. It functions primarily as a neighborhood amenity for local residents to engage in outdoor fitness and river-side strolling. The river bank restoration projects here were designed to improve flood mitigation while providing public access to the waterfront.

Bring insect repellent, as the riverside location can attract mosquitoes during humid summer evenings.
The park is mostly exposed to sunlight, so sun protection and hydration are essential during mid-day visits.
Stick to the marked paths if the river level is high, as some lower sections near the water may be prone to muddy conditions.
Do not enter the lower riverbank access areas during or immediately following heavy rain alerts.
Keep noise levels low, stay on paved paths to protect landscaped vegetation, and carry out all trash.
