Xiangshan Park was originally called Zhongqiang Park. It was renamed "Xiangshan Park" due to its proximity to Xiangshan, which better reflects the geographical characteristics and the public's expectations. The park is home to the only protected animal species named after Taipei, the "Taipei Tree Frog." This precious ecological resource deserves careful protection, and people can learn to live in harmony with nature from it. Therefore, many facilities in the park incorporate the vocabulary or colors of the Taipei Tree Frog. For example, the frog footprints embedded in the ground symbolize the leap of natural life. The park's landscape lights also feature tree frog silhouettes and tree shadows, creating an interesting contrast. The colors of the seat armrests, the walls and ceilings of public restrooms all reflect the unique ecological resources of Xiangshan Park. The outer walls of the public restrooms were specially designed by the spiritual artist, Mr. Zeng Risheng, with colorful paintings of flowers, green grass, and tree frogs, bringing people invisible life energy. The paintings are adjacent to the children's play area, allowing children playing and parents resting to feel happy and relaxed by seeing the vivid flowers. The design of the children's play area in Xiangshan Park reflects the local unique resource of the Taipei Tree Frog. The entire space is designed around the concept of "The Adventure of the Tree Frog," creating a flat area and a central landform hill, symbolizing the three states of life of the tree frog: in water, on land, and in trees. The landform hill combines various facilities such as climbing walls, ropes, slides, holes, and stairs, allowing children to freely play and create their own ways of playing. There are also climbing net sets, including hanging bridge steps, spider web-like structures, and X-shaped net combinations, providing older children with opportunities to use their muscles for stretching and experiencing. The play area has three types of swings: regular swings for children over 6 years old, enclosed swings for children under 6 years old, and the first double swing in Taiwan, allowing two children or parents and children to ride together, enabling parents and children to enjoy intimate interaction. In addition, there is an accessible rocking disc located at the bottom of the play hill, where children can lie, sit, or stand on it to experience the excitement of swaying or moving. ＜The text data is from the Department of Public Works, Taipei City＞
