TaiMall Park is a fun playground and park in front of TaiMall in Luzhu District of Taoyuan, built in 2020. Here you can enjoy a large jungle gym area, climbing areas, slides, swings, a skating rink, basketball courts, and more. You can also check out the nearby TaiMall shopping area.
Historical Background: TaiMall was completed in 1999, and was the first large-scale mall built in Taiwan. TaiMall Park was built in 2020, and includes 13 swing sets, and slides 15 meters high, a 10 meter high climbing dome, a basketball court, a circular plaza, flower gardens, grassy areas, and a skating rink. The main feature of the park is a custom-made three-story giant dome climbing net slide imported from South Korea, where visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the park from the platform before sliding down a 15-meter slide. The total cost for the park was 80 million NT. The land where the park was built was originally owned by TaiMall, but was given to the Taoyuan City Government, however TaiMall still maintains the grounds.

Map: See below: Our Journey: I have been to TaiMall twice, both before and after the park was built. Before the children's park was built, it was kind of just like a grassy garden area. When we visited, the park was packed with kids. You can tell that it is one of the funnest parks around. However, many of the high climbing areas are not suitable for kids under 5 years old.
TaiMall is shaped like a huge castle. There is plenty of paid parking on the north side of the mall.
At the very front entrance to the park there is this cement sign.
There are also plenty of Ubike stations here and grassy areas.
Here is a map of the park, showing the playground area, wOw plaza, bike parking, basketball factory, and skating zone.
The climbing areas under the slide are pretty intense. Small children will have no way to get to the top on their own.
There is also this giant climbing net.
This small cement staircase and rainbow climbing wall are more suitable for small children. The red and blue slides in the background are more suitable for larger children.
There are also a number of swing sets in the area.
Kids going down the little kid slide.
Another view of the 15 meter high slide tower.

Author 作家I am an American expat who has extensive experience living, working, and traveling in Taiwan. In my day, I had to learn many things about Taiwan the hard way. But I have come to learn that Taiwan is one of the best places in the world for Foreigners to live. This blog does not represent the opinions of every foreigner in Taiwan. I am just trying to help others learn more about this beautiful country. Categories
