A comprehensive park surrounded by abundant nature, including forests, cliffs, and a river.
A comprehensive park in Minami Ward, Sapporo, stretching east and west along the Toyohira River, with rich natural surroundings and a wide variety of leisure facilities. It boasts a vast site of Approx. 30.5 hectares, and the terrain itself is a highlight, including riverside cliffs, deep forests, and the former Sapporo soft stone quarry site, which was selected as one of the 100 Best Geological Sites in Hokkaido.
