This park, covering the three-hectare wetland area between Cheng Ching Lake, Cheng Shiu University, and Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in the Niaosung District of Kaohsiung County, is the first park themed as a constructed wetland dedicated to wildlife conservation, and moonlight as a tourist attraction. More than 93 species of birds, 250-plus kinds of inspects and no fewer than 340 varieties of plants call this natural observation and educational facility home.

Developed from a sinking pool of the Cheng Ching Lake Branch of the Taiwan Water Supply Company, originally designed to precipitate sediments from wastewater exhausting from Cheng Ching Lake Water Treatment Plant, the Niaosung Wetland project came into fruition thorough strong efforts of green advocacy groups. Works converting it into a conservation area began in June 1999 and was completed in the same month one year later. The Niaosung Wetland Park was opened on September 24, 2000.
