Haixing Swimming Pool

Hai-Xing Swimming Pool is in Wai-Mu-Shan, Keelung, a free public pool filled with natural seawater. The site has a parking lot, restrooms, rinse rooms, and life-jacket rental, with lifeguards on duty on weekends. The pool is split into three zones: an intertidal shallow area for toddlers to wade and watch marine life, a roughly one-meter-deep children's pool for school-age kids, and a deeper seawater swim lane for adults to swim and snorkel. Multiple renovations have renewed the platforms, stairs, and railings, improving safety; the only downside is limited shade. It is open 24 hours year-round, completely free, and a popular Keelung spot for families escaping the heat and enjoying sea activities.

A nostalgic outdoor slide from the 1960s-70s era of Taiwanese schoolyards and parks, the elephant-shaped play fixture has mostly vanished from the island. Keelung's surviving model still stands inside a free water park, becoming a beloved summer splash spot for families reliving childhood memories. The elephant silhouette is equally photogenic and playful, blending retro charm with cool-water fun.
