The park is situated within a flood-detention basin, meaning parts of the facility can be temporarily restricted during heavy rain events.
It is part of the larger Erchong Riverside Park complex, which spans over 7 kilometers in length.
The park's wetland design incorporates natural water purification processes to filter runoff before it enters the main river system.
The cycling paths are integrated into the New Taipei City riverside trail network, allowing continuous transit from Wugu to other districts like Banqiao and Luzhou.
Shuhong Ecological Park is an urban wetland located within the Erchong Floodway of New Taipei City. The park features a extensive network of cycling paths that connect to the wider riverside trail system of the Taipei metropolitan area. It serves as a natural habitat for diverse bird species, making it a popular site for birdwatching. The grounds include dedicated zones for fishing and grassy areas designed for recreational use. As a flood detention area, the park's topography is defined by its proximity to the Tamsui River tributaries. The site is characterized by open vistas, wetland vegetation, and flat, paved terrain suitable for varied skill levels of cyclists. It functions as a key green corridor for residents seeking outdoor activity away from the dense urban center.

Bring high-SPF sunscreen and a hat, as there is limited shade along the open riverside paths.
Check local weather reports for typhoon or heavy rain warnings, as these lead to immediate access closures in the floodway.
Carry your own hydration, as vending machines can be sparse between the main park entrance and the deeper trail segments.
Do not attempt to visit during or immediately after a tropical storm, as the area is designed to flood.
Access may be suspended during typhoon warnings or periods of high water levels in the Tamsui River basin.
Stay on marked cycling lanes; yield to pedestrians on shared paths; do not disturb wetland wildlife.
