The park contains the site of the former Taipei Children's Recreation Center, which was the first amusement park in Taiwan.
The area includes the Pavilion of New Fashion, constructed from over 1.5 million recycled plastic bottles.
The park features a dedicated drone flying zone regulated by the Civil Aeronautics Administration.
The EXPO Dome on the premises was originally built to house international floral displays and currently serves as a multipurpose venue.
The area is directly adjacent to the historic Yuanshan archeological site, which dates back to the Neolithic period.
The Yuanshan Park Area is the largest section of the Taipei Expo Park, repurposed from the 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition site. It features large open lawns, the historic Taipei Fine Arts Museum, and the repurposed EXPO Dome. The park sits on the grounds of the former Taipei Children's Recreation Center and incorporates traditional Chinese-style gardens. It is a major hub for public events, weekend farmers' markets, and drone flying activities. The site maintains several architectural remnants from its time as a global exhibition center. The terrain is largely flat, providing accessible walking paths throughout the recreational zones.

Visit the nearby farmers' market held in the area on weekends for local agricultural produce.
Sun protection is essential as many pathways and open areas offer minimal shade.
Avoid visiting during major weekend festivals if you prefer a quiet environment, as the park becomes heavily congested.
Respect local drone-flying flight zones and do not fly in prohibited areas within the park.
