Overview

Fudekeng Grass Skiing Field is a large recreational slope located within the Fudekeng Environmental Restoration Park in Taipei's Wenshan District. Originally a landfill site, the area was converted into a multi-use park featuring an artificial grass track specifically designed for sliding activities. Visitors ride plastic sleds down the sloped, green synthetic turf to simulate skiing. The site provides a panoramic view of the surrounding mountain ranges and the distant Taipei 101 skyscraper. It is managed by the Taipei City Government Department of Environmental Protection as part of their urban greening initiatives. The facility serves as a unique outdoor venue for families and youth to engage in gravity-based sports without snow. It remains one of the few dedicated grass-skiing tracks in the metropolitan Taipei area.

Insider tips

Bring a change of clothes as the artificial grass can be abrasive if you fall.

Wear sunscreen and a hat, as there is limited natural shade on the exposed slope.

Ensure your footwear is secure; loose sandals may fall off during the descent.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to use cardboard or non-approved sleds, as the friction on the synthetic turf can be dangerous or damage the material.

Good to know

Closed for maintenance on certain weekdays; operations are typically suspended during heavy rain or typhoon weather conditions.
