Ecosystem: By adopting rain and flood management measures such as ecological wetlands, rain gardens, ecological dry streams, ecological grass-planting ditches, permeable paving, sinking green spaces, etc., this park has good flexibility to adapt environmental changes and respond to natural disasters caused by heavy rainfall. Therefore, the park has multiple functions to water processing so that the community sports cultural ecological park also becomes a sponge park.
