Shōnai Greens

Shōnai Greens is a large public park in Nagoya that combines multiple recreational facilities across distinct zones. The grounds include tennis courts, cycling paths, a skating area, rose gardens, and open lawns.

The park opened in 1986 after being developed from a retention basin of the Shonai River. This transformation was part of a broader national initiative to expand green spaces in urban areas.

The park serves as a gathering place where residents of different ages come together for recreation and outdoor activities. Its use reflects how public spaces play an important role in daily neighborhood life.

The park is easily accessible by subway from Shonai Ryokuchi Koen station. Most outdoor areas are open during daylight hours, while some indoor facilities have extended hours for evening use.

The park features a dedicated bird forest where visitors can observe birds in their natural setting. This quiet zone provides a contrast to the more active recreation areas and reveals the ecological diversity of the location.
