Sumida Park, Urban park along Sumida River in Taitō-ku and Sumida-ku, Japan.

The park extends on both sides of the Sumida River, providing green spaces with views of the Tokyo Skytree and modern art installations.

The park became part of Tokyo's reconstruction efforts after opening in March 1931, featuring cherry trees planted during the Edo period by Tokugawa Yoshimune.

Every July, the park transforms into a gathering space for hundreds of thousands of people watching the Sumida River Fireworks Festival.

Located five minutes from Asakusa Station, the park includes baseball fields, tennis courts, and a children's playground for recreational activities.

The park features traditional yabusame horseback archery demonstrations in April, combining sports with historical martial arts practices.
