Sprawling along the banks between the Zhongshan and Dazhi Bridges in Taipei's Zhongshan District, Dajia Riverside Park is an urban greenery project inspired from a City Government-initiated effort to straighten the course of Keelung River. Upon arriving at this extensive park, visitors are greeted with a pleasant, expansive patch of lawn commanding a view of Miramar's rooftop Ferris wheel. In addition to a gigantic fountain that imparts a rhythmic visual effect with aerated water jets of varying intensity and heights, where the central columns reach up to 75-meters, the park is replete with sports facilities for basketball, tennis, badminton and croquet, as well as and an encircling bike path several kilometers long (bicycle rental services available). A popular weekend getaway known for its spaciousness, convenient parking and scenic beauty, Dajia Riverside Park hosts large events at irregular intervals to showcase Taipei's metropolitan vibrancy.
