In addition to cycling around the island and exploring the ecological wetlands, Shizitou Island now has something new to offer. A new sandbox, basketball court, and waterfront plaza have been built under the bridge, transforming the area beneath Shizitou Bridge into a great weekend getaway.

Next to Shizitou Bridge, a new magical sandbox has recently been added, featuring sea creatures such as sea lions and turtles — making it an ideal play spot for family outings. Newly built bird’s nest seats on the grass provide a resting place for both adults and children. The area leading up features lush green lawns and landscaped stone steps, while the bow-view platform at the Sunlight Waterfront Plaza combines views of Shizitou Bridge and Yangmingshan Mountain. Standing at the bow feels like being in a movie scene, where you can not only enjoy the sunset but also take in the waterfront scenery and feel the gentle breeze.

Additionally, the basketball sports plaza under Shizitou Bridge, located outside the embankment at the Shizitou Island end of the bridge, has made a fresh comeback. The surrounding embankment walls feature a basketball theme, using three-dimensional murals to depict dynamic scenes such as layups and dunks, vividly portraying athletic movements that make the experience more immersive for those playing here.
