The Kaohsiung City Government transformed an inconspicuous idle forest on the north side of the lake into a green secret land with forests, lakes and complete trails. It was named "Mengli Forest Park" and has attracted many people to "Mengli" even without publicity.

The west side of Mengli Forest Park is close to the back gate of Chengcheng Lake, and is only separated from the Chengcheng Lake Park by a road. The east side is close to community houses and has a new walking trail, making it convenient for nearby people to enter the park for a walk. In May this year, people have noticed that the park is still under construction. Recently, many people have discovered that the park is almost completed, so they simply go inside to visit and enjoy the "freshest" dreamland.

According to the Gao City Park Office, Mengli Forest Park is located on the north side of Chengcheng Lake and adjacent to the National Aboriginal Museum Base, with a total area of approximately 24 hectares. It is planned to include a lake viewing area, banyan tree square, dream grassland, forest lookout and other areas. It also has a pickleball court and an ice rink that have been recently developed, as well as a complete parking space for automobiles and motorcycles. The overall project has entered the final stage.

In addition to forest green space and recreational facilities, the Water Conservancy Bureau used natural ponds to be dug down and transformed into the "Mengli Flood Detention Pond", which has a flood storage capacity of about 16,500 tons. It is mainly used to regulate the drainage from Caogong Xinzhen to the lower reaches of Renwu. It is also the most dreamy site in the park. More than 100 trees were planted beside the flood detention pond, including eggplant, Taiwan beech, liquidambar, and pistachio, which together with the surrounding trees form the Dream Forest.

The Parks Department stated that after the entire Mengli Forest is completed, it will be connected with Chengcheng Lake Park, Guoling Nature Park, and Shuanghu Park, with a total area of ​​nearly 500 hectares, making it the largest park green space in Greater Kaohsiung.
