Central Park, Kaohsiung

Kaohsiung Central Park offers a refreshing escape in the heart of the city, blending natural greenery with modern urban design. Once part of an industrial zone, the park was transformed by city planners into a vibrant public space promoting health and relaxation. Located next to the KMRT Central Park Station—one of the world’s most beautiful metro stops—the park is easily accessible and sits near key shopping areas like the President Department Store and Shinkuchan Entertainment District. Designed with convenience and community in mind, the park includes a bike rental station and several walking trails that invite both leisure and movement.

Within the park, visitors will find a mix of cultural and recreational attractions. These include the Kaohsiung Literature Library, Scenic Lake, Water Square, Middle Island, Outdoor Terrace, and the Hedgerow Labyrinth—a charming green maze. Water Square draws attention with its scheduled “water dances,” which are 20-minute fountain shows held several times daily. Speech Square offers a more traditional atmosphere, where older residents gather to chat, sip tea, or play board games beneath shady trees. The park’s diverse landscapes and peaceful vibe have also made it a popular filming location for local television dramas.

Central Park comes alive at night thanks to the Urban Spotlight installation, where illuminated pathways and occasional performances create a lively atmosphere. Whether you're in the mood for a quiet stroll, a lakeside rest, or shopping just outside the park gates, Central Park offers a balance between nature and city life.
