After 30 years of service, the playground, pavilion, and walkway facilities underwent a series of renovation to incorporate new emphasis such as green beautification and replacement of the old looks. After renovations, the pavilion and playground facilities won many praises from local users.
With the limited resource of urban space and the diversified needs of growing number of residents, the Parks and Street Lights Office focused the design concept on “connecting people and forging relationship.”
According to PSLO Director Huang Li-yuan, one of the most obvious changes in the park could be found in the design of the playground facility. The new design allows parents to watch while kids enjoy swings, climbing, and sliding actions. Furthermore, a wash basin nearby also allows kids to clean their hands and feet after standing time playing.
Chief Lin of the Yangmingshan Park Facility Management Division pointed out that the park’s playground facility was originally located under tree shades, shielding kids from the glaring sun and summer heat. However, the aged and deteriorating floor mat poses a risk to children playing in the area.
After the overhaul, the facility has been relocated to a larger open space – in addition to creating a second playground. The floor area is now covered by an artificial turf for added protection, while gravel material has been used for the slides and other play facilities to enhance shock-absorbance ability.
