Barclay Memorial Park, Urban park in East District, Taiwan
The nine-hectare green space features natural walking trails, wooden boardwalks, and multiple ponds surrounded by dense vegetation in the heart of Tainan city.
The park honors Thomas Barclay, a Scottish missionary who established Taiwan's first university in 1875 and facilitated peaceful negotiations during Japanese military advancement.
The environmental education center within the park provides educational programs about local ecology while preserving indigenous plant species and firefly habitats.
Located opposite the Tainan Cultural Center, the park remains open 24 hours daily with free admission and includes dedicated parking facilities and bicycle rental stations.
The Dream Lake area contains natural springs that continuously feed fresh water into the pond system, creating reflective surfaces beneath winter cypress trees.
