Overview
The park is mainly composed of a lawn plaza and a sports plaza, and is a place of relaxation for locals.
History
The area around the park (Hirai, Ōjima, Komatsugawa) is at an altitude of 0 m above sea level, so the park was constructed by raising the land on a large scale and the park was set as an evacuation site for use in times of disaster.
Environmental issue
Formerly an industrial area, it was the site where a large amount of chrome slag was buried by chemical manufacturers in the 1970s. Treatment of the slag by Kōtō Ward is said to have been completed in 2000, but a paper published in 2014 reported that some leaked during heavy rain and snowfall.
