Spanning 3,734 mu (249 hectares), with 3,600 mu of water surface, the park is built around Taoyuan Reservoir and prioritizes environmental conservation. Measures include pollution control, forest preservation, and water resource protection, with wetlands and intercepting dams designed to manage wastewater at the source.

The park integrates water conservation education with interactive science programs to raise public awareness. It also offers water sports and lakeside leisure activities, enriching visitor experiences while boosting the rural economy.  

Taoyuan Lake will continue to promote eco-friendly development by advancing the "water resources +" model, driving environmental and economic benefits.
