Fuchū-no-Mori Park, Metropolitan park in Fuchu, Japan
Fuchū-no-Mori Park is a recreation area in Fuchū featuring tennis courts, baseball fields, soccer grounds, and Japanese gardens set among native trees. The grounds include multiple sports facilities, children's play areas, and barbecue spots.
The park was established in 1991 on land that formerly belonged to a United States military base. This transformation converted military-occupied ground into public green space for the community.
Eight sculptures are displayed throughout the grounds, including the 'Ann and Michel statue,' creating an outdoor art exhibition where visitors can encounter contemporary works.
The park provides a 300-meter cherry blossom promenade, sports facilities, and play areas with free entrance to all areas. Some activity areas require payment or advance booking for specific programs.
The park hosts seasonal insect observation events where visitors can encounter grasshoppers, crickets, dragonflies, and butterflies in their natural habitat. These activities reveal the wildlife diversity that thrives within this urban green space.
