Pingtung’s Civic Park Inclusive Playground

The site was an old paper mill belonging to Taiwan Sugar Corp. (Taisugar) The project transforms part of the strip space into a park with a total area of 1.1 hectares. In line with the impression of Pingtung County, the project is themed on the local characteristics of Pingtung, such as agricultural specialties and water resources. The design team used a zoning plan to replicate the topography of Pingtung, with water as a gentle image connecting the past, present, and future of Pingtung County throughout the park. For amusement, the design team took the concept of local agricultural products to create amusement facilities with elements such as lemons, red beans, and onions, allowing children to strengthen their cultural awareness of Pingtung County through playing and sensory experiences. As for zoning, the project follows the topographic characteristics of Pingtung County, such as steep slopes and rushing rivers to create areas with different water volumes. The project aims to allow the public to learn about the geographical features of Pingtung County by observing the changes in water volume along the route from high to low or from low to high.
