Our Story
The Taipei Water Department is committed to fulfilling its corporate social responsibility. Since 2000, we have been restoring the historic "Taipei Water Pump House," transforming it into the Taipei Water Park for public enjoyment. In 2002, with the completion of the park's Phase I project, we incorporated parts of the Gongguan Water Purification Plant to establish the "Taipei Water Park," broadening our service and mission. Since launch, the Taipei Water Park has held diverse annual events, with our summer Water Festival and winter Christmas season standing out as favorites among the public, creating cherished memories for families and visitors of all ages.
With the introduction of the Environmental Education Act in June 2011, the Taipei Water Department recognized environmental education as a valuable means to promote corporate responsibility as citizens of the Earth. Consequently, we established the "Taipei Water Park Environmental Education Center (TWP EEC)," integrating our resources and enhancing interpretive services to create water-focused environmental education programs. These offerings are certified by the Ministry of Environment and were officially recognized on February 6, 2012, as an "Environmental Education Facility," empowering us to offer outdoor learning experiences that count toward environmental education hours.
Our Highlights
The Taipei Water Park is an environmental education facility with a strong focus on "water resource conservation." It features a fully operational Gongguan Water Purification Plant that visitors can explore in person. The park is also home to significant historical sites, including the Xindian River, which originally served as a water source, and Taiwan’s first public waterworks facility from the Japanese era, the “Taipei Water Source Pump House” (now the Museum of Drinking Water) and the “Taipei Water Source Site.” The Taipei Water Park has carefully designed a variety of water resource educational programs, suitable for all backgrounds and ages, making it an engaging, educational destination for visitors. The Taipei Water Park’s five-hectare "Little Guanyinshan" preserves a low-lying mountain native broadleaf forest, offering ecology courses for deeper nature exploration. Nearby, visitors can also enjoy the Treasure Hill Artist Village, Hakka Cultural Park and riverside biking trails, creating a rich, multi-faceted experience in environmental education.
