Overview

Taomi Riverside Park is a community-managed recreational area in Puli Township characterized by its shallow, natural stream water pools designed for wading. The park utilizes the clean water sourced from the surrounding mountains to provide a safe environment for families and young children. It features stone-lined riverbanks and small water slides integrated directly into the stream flow. The site is a core component of the Taomi Eco-Village initiative, which focuses on community-led environmental conservation. Visitors can observe local frog species and aquatic wildlife in the adjacent restored wetland habitats. The area is maintained by the local residents to promote ecological awareness and sustainable tourism.
