Our Journey:

I have been to Neihu Sports Park countless times. It is a great place to watch airplanes, and one of the few places in Taipei with a rock climbing wall and skate park. In fact, the first time I came here in 2013 was because of its rock climbing wall. 

Main steps leading up to the park on the east side.

The rock climbing wall in all its glory.

The wall here features an arch, so you can monkey grab your way across the roof if you have strong enough hands. 

This park is also great because it has a half pipe and other skate board equipment. There is also a baseball feild in the background. 

There is also a traditional slide playground area here and a large sand pit connected to the playground by underground pipes. 

There is also a water splash area that you can see in the background here that is only open in the summer. 

There are wide grassy areas here too, as well as a nice bathroom. 

Another view of the skate park area. 

Recently they have created this airplane themed bike path on the bridge that connects the park to the Keelung River. 

You can ride a bike down from here to the river.

These things are purely decorative. They provide hardly any protections from rain or sun.
