Rongxing Garden Park, Public park in Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan
Description
Rongxing Garden Park is a 6.8-hectare (16.8-acre) park in Zhongshan District with European-style landscaping that includes pergolas covered in bougainvillea, lotus ponds, and maple tree paths. The grounds also feature wooden boardwalks, basketball courts, children's playgrounds, running tracks, and open lawns for various recreational uses.
History
The site was originally created in 1968 as a private botanical garden by the Ku family. It became public property in 1989 when Taipei City Government acquired it and opened it to the community.
Culture
The park functions as a meeting place where residents practice tai chi, join dance sessions, and celebrate seasonal festivities throughout the year. These activities shape daily life here and show how the community uses the space.
Practical
The park is located near Xingtian Temple and is easy to reach. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the grounds have many paths and open areas to explore.
