History

The area where the park lies today used to be a Pokémon themed amusement park. On 11 April 2006, the area was designated as a national archaeological site. In October 2007, the Taipei City Government then initiated a plan to redevelop the area into a new children's park. The park was then opened to the public on 16 December 2014.[2] Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation was commissioned for its management and maintenance.[3]

Architecture

The park spans over an area of 5 hectares. It is divided into three main zones, which are Fantasy Forest and Dream Ocean, Magic Planet and Toy Soldier Kingdom.[2]
