Paoma Historic Trail Park (Art and Culture Life Park & Surrounding Town Service Square)

The north area was organized as a training base for cultural and artistic performances, dismantling the enclosed walls and opening up the space of the old camp. The space of one part of the camp was opened and then integrated with the people-oriented road system of Deyang Road, combining it with the public land along the road to build an urban square and create the image of Jiaoxi(礁溪) City Garden. The old and disused camps were demolished, while simple repairs were made to those in good condition with reuse potential. In the south area, such as the Jiaoxi(礁溪) resident life park, the closed walls were opened to connect with the residential community. The project further involved cleaning up the environment of the camp, building the green parking lot, and providing the environmental flood detention system. The pedestrian path of Renai Road was also created, improving the pedestrian space thematic connection to Tangwei ditch and the footpath system connecting the surrounding environment.
