New Taipei City has just inaugurated another new park! Central Park located on the border of Xinzhuang and Taishan is now open to the public, giving a whole new feel to the Wenzaizun area. There’s ingenious design everywhere you look. It not only utilizes the topography of the land, but also turns low-lying areas into ponds that serve as both flood retention zones and an opportunity for ecological education. The park also retains some elements of its past as a blue-collar hub so that visitors can learn about the area’s history.

Children have a blast running around a new playground. Right there beside them is New Taipei City Mayor Hou You-yi, who visited to celebrate the opening of the new Central Park.

Apart from the flood retention ponds, the ecology is permeable and allows for water retention to nurture the land’s ecosystem. So actually, today is the first day for the new park, but also marks a new milestone for us.

The park was built following extensive rezoning, giving a new look to the Wenzaizun area. The designers used the land’s topography to create flood retention zones in low-lying areas that were prone to flooding, which can also educate visitors about living in harmony with the local ecosystem.

This park is pretty unique. It crosses over two districts, Taishan and Xinzhuang. It’s convenient for residents of the two districts, especially people living in the older communities.

There are markers of the area’s blue-collar history scattered throughout the park, along with creative landscaping, metal installations, and playgrounds. The original stone steps and walls from the area’s old houses were also preserved, giving visitors a glimpse into the history of Wenzaizun.

Over these past few years, we’ve seen Wenzaizun gradually coming together through redistricting to become a wonderful place to live, from the flood retention ponds, to the culverts, parking lots, parks, and roads.

With the opening of this new park, New Taipei now has yet another place where families can come to play and let off some steam.
