基地前身是國營事業台糖紙漿廠舊址，作品為挪用部分帶狀空間改造成縣市公園的案子，總占地1.1公頃，為了符合縣市印象，設計主題以屏東在地特色發展作為主軸，例如農產特品、以及水資源，所以設計端以復刻屏東地勢作為分區規劃，讓水成為貫穿整體公園的溫柔語彙，串聯屏東縣的過去、現在以及未來。在主題遊具的部分，透過在地農特產作為設計構想，擷取檸檬、紅豆、洋蔥等元素轉變成為遊具特色，讓小朋友透過肢體玩樂與五感體驗，加強屏東縣的文化意識。在分區規劃的部份，按照屏東縣坡陡流急的地形特色打造出不同水量的趣味場域，諸如川、池、河等樣貌，讓民眾沿著路線由高至低，或由低至高行徑時，可以透過觀察沿途上的水量變化，了解屏東縣的地脈特色。
