Taiwan Park's Unused Water Features Criticized as 'Lonely Spray'

Tainan City Councilor Chen Yi-chen has sharply criticized the "Taijiang Landscape Park" for its non-operational water spray facilities, labeling the situation a "lonely spray." The park, located in the Annan District and designed to resemble the historical Taijiang Inland Sea, features water attractions including a "mist corridor" and "mist zone." Despite being open for approximately 1.5 years, these specific facilities have reportedly never been activated.

Chen Yi-chen highlighted that numerous parents have complained about the unused amenities. The park's water features were intended to provide a cooling experience for visitors, especially children, during warmer weather. However, their prolonged inactivity has led to significant disappointment for families who visited the park specifically for these attractions. Upon inspection, Chen Yi-chen found only residual water from rain, reinforcing her criticism that the advertised "mist corridor" has never produced mist.

The city's Land Administration Bureau has responded to the criticism, assuring that the relevant equipment is currently undergoing testing. The bureau has pledged to officially activate the water spray facilities by the end of June. Councilor Chen urged the city government to fulfill this promise promptly, ensuring that residents can enjoy the complete recreational space during the upcoming summer holidays and that the park's facilities function as intended.
