Central Park () is a park in Cianjin District at the heart of the city of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The park is an oasis of greenery in the midst of a heavily built-up urban area. ==History== City planners first conceived of, and set aside space for, a park at Central Park's current location during the period when Taiwan was under Japanese rule.〔(高雄都市發展史話 )〕 Later on, planners during the early period of Republic of China rule referred to the concept as ''Park Number 15''.〔(台灣省高雄市都市計劃說明書 )〕 Central Park formally came into being in 1976. At one point, the park featured a library, basketball courts, tennis courts, a parking lot, the District swimming pool, and Sun Yat-sen Arena. The park was adopted by the Rotary Club and thus also became known as ''Rotary Park''. In the 1990s, most of the built-up areas were removed and replaced with grassy or wooded parkland. This was the result of the efforts of environmentalist groups, and dovetailed with the construction of the MRT Red Line. The Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation footed the bill for the conversion. In February 2014, it came to light that city officials had privately come to an agreement with a charitable organization founded on behalf of a deceased lumber tycoon to pave over a wooded area at the northwest corner of Central Park and erect a public library bearing the name of said individual. A wide array of local citizens have arisen to oppose the proposed partial paving over of Central Park. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Central Park (Kaohsiung)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
