Weiwuying Metropolitan Park, Metropolitan park in Fongshan District, Taiwan.
Weiwuying Metropolitan Park is a large green space in Kaohsiung featuring a lake, walking paths, cycling tracks, and areas for sports and relaxation. The grounds include playgrounds, fitness equipment, and picnic zones throughout.
The site originated as a Qing Dynasty military installation and later served as an Eighth Army Group base before opening to the public in 2010 following community advocacy. This past use shapes the layout and features visible today.
The northern section connects to the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, forming a gateway where people move between outdoor walks and cultural performances.
Multiple entrances and direct access from Weiwuying Station make the grounds easy to reach and explore at any time. Well-maintained paths and open areas work well for visitors of varying mobility levels.
Former military structures like a parade ground and water towers have been transformed into viewing platforms that overlook the entire grounds. This conversion lets visitors physically explore the site's armed past.
