Taiwan's Largest Kaohsiung Family Fun Park Opens, Exceeding 30,000 Visitors; Light Rail C35 Sees 20-Fold Increase in Traffic

Kaohsiung's highly anticipated "Kaohsiung Family Fun Park," the largest of its kind in Taiwan, celebrated its grand opening, drawing an unprecedented crowd of over 30,000 visitors on its inaugural day. The massive turnout underscored the city's enthusiasm for the new recreational space.

The surge in visitors had a direct impact on local transportation, with the nearest Light Rail station, C35 (Kaisyuan Wuchang), experiencing a remarkable 20-fold increase in daily ridership. The station served approximately 4,000 passengers, highlighting the park's accessibility and popularity.

Spanning 28 hectares, the park is built on a former industrial site, retaining its original high-ceilinged steel structures and railway industrial characteristics. It offers more than 30 diverse indoor and outdoor play facilities designed for various age groups. Special attractions include Taiwan's first "gantry cloud net playground" that integrates existing gantry structures with nets, a bouldering wall, parkour area, and pump track.

To enhance the summer experience, the park will host additional attractions like an outdoor inflatable water park, a six-meter city waterslide, and children's character meet-and-greets on weekends until August 23. City officials urged visitors to follow staff guidance for safety and to utilize public transport, including the Light Rail and a free shuttle bus service, to access the park.
