坪林森林公園

Pinglin Forest Park is an urban forest spread across about 12 hectares with both natural woodlands and a large ecological retention pond for water management. The space includes play areas for children, restroom facilities, and parking areas for visitors.

The site was transformed from a former military base into a public recreational area following reductions in military personnel stationed there. This conversion shows how the city repurposed military land for civilian use.

The multi-purpose performance hall hosts regular exhibitions and gatherings that bring neighbors together for art and community events throughout the year.

The park provides good access with parking areas and restroom facilities for visitors spending time here. Bus number 75 connects directly from Taichung Station, making it easy to reach by public transport.

The site features a sunken design that serves both flood prevention and recreation functions at the same time. This dual-purpose approach was innovative for urban planning in the region when it was created.
