Chiayi Park was originally the site of the Zhulushan community office of the Pingpu Hongya tribe. It was developed as an outdoor training ground during the Qing Dynasty, and established as a public hall during the Japanese colonial era, featuring the largest restaurant in Taiwan that could accommodate over a thousand people at the time. After World War II, it was renamed Zhongshan Hall and designated as a recreational area, with a sports field and library. "Evening Drumbeats of Recreation" was once one of the Eight Sights of Chiayi. Although the park is not large, its characteristic feature is the cluster of celebrity statues, among which the statue of former mayor Ms. Xu Shixian, known as the "Mazu of Chiayi," is the most famous. Chiayi Park was completed in 1989 and features an outdoor music stage with an open, arched design. The stage is 2000 cm wide and 1670 cm deep, with seating for six hundred people. The basement includes dressing rooms for performers, and there is also an underground paid parking lot, thoughtfully alleviating parking concerns, making it the best outdoor performance venue in the city center. The small exhibition hall within the park serves as an art exhibition space, frequently hosting cultural and artistic events, exuding vitality and joy. The scenery and facilities are imbued with a humanistic and artistic flair, especially at night when illuminated, creating a distinctly European artistic atmosphere.
