The Taipei Water Park (traditional Chinese: 自來水園區; simplified Chinese: 自来水园区; pinyin: Zìláishuǐ Yuánqū) is a water park in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan.

History

In 2000, the Taipei Water Department began repairing and restoring the Taipei Pumping Room and setting up the Museum of Drinking Water for the public. The first phase of work was completed in 2002, combined with part of space of Gongguan Water Treatment Plant and renamed as Taipei Water Park.[1]

On 27 July 2016, a fire broke out at the park, prompting the evacuation of the 1,200 visitors. The fire started from a solar panel grid.[2]

Transportation

The museum is accessible within walking distance south West from Gongguan Station of the Taipei Metro.[3]
