Dajia Riverside Park, Riverside park in Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan
Dajia Riverside Park stretches along the Keelung River in the Zhongshan District, offering space for walking, cycling, and sports. The grounds include multiple courts for basketball and tennis, a children's water play area, and open lawns.
The park was created in 1990 as part of a river straightening project designed to reduce flooding risk. This development transformed the waterfront into a recreational space for the community.
Artistic installations throughout the space tell stories of the river's past through sculptures embedded in walkways and bronze horse figures near water features. These pieces help visitors connect with the area's relationship to the waterway.
The park has multiple entry points along Binjiang Street making it easy to access from different directions. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, especially on warm days, as shaded areas are scattered throughout rather than concentrated in one zone.
The central fountain was designed by the same company that created a major fountain for the Olympic Park in Atlanta. This connection reflects how global design expertise shaped this local waterfront space.
