Akatsuka Park, Metropolitan park in Takashimadaira, Japan.
This metropolitan park stretches across the Takashimadaira district from the residential complex to the Metropolitan Expressway Route 5, blending open spaces with untouched forest areas. A central fountain marks the heart of the site, anchoring the landscape design.
The park opened in 1974 as a recreational space for residents in northern Tokyo. Since then, it has served as a key leisure facility for the surrounding residential community.
Locals use the space for both athletic pursuits and quiet moments away from the city, with traditional garden elements creating reflective spots between the sports facilities.
The site lies roughly a 10-minute walk from Takashimadaira Station on the Toei Mita Line, with a limited number of parking spaces available. Rental facilities for sports courts accept card payments, making booking straightforward.
The water play area in the center functions as an interactive fountain system where children splash and cool off on warm summer days. This modern water feature sits in sharp contrast to the surrounding untouched forest that frames the entire park.
