Todagawa Green, Urban park in Nagoya, Japan
Todagawa Green is a municipal park opened in 1994 that stretches 2.5 km north to south and 0.5 km east to west along both banks of the Toda River in Nagoya's Nakagawa and Minato wards. It has three zones: the southern Hinata-no-Sato area, which holds the Nagoya Agricultural Culture Park and the Todagawa Children's Land; the central zone with lawns, a family sports ground, an inline skating rink and a pitch-and-putt course; and the northern zone, still being planted.
The park was established by the city of Nagoya and opened to the public in 1994. It was created as part of an effort to bring green spaces and recreational areas to a growing urban population.
The southern zone, nicknamed Hinata no Sato, adjoins the Nagoya City Agricultural Culture Park and is used together with it; the Toda River Green Space bus stop on the Nanyo patrol route serves this part. The Toda River itself gives the park its name, and the southern zone holds the most visitors of the three zones.
The park is reachable by public transportation and has parking for visitors who arrive by car. Because the grounds have multiple entrances, it helps to decide in advance which section you want to visit first.
The park is organized into three functional zones that each draw a different type of visitor, so families, sports enthusiasts, and those curious about nature can be there at the same time without getting in each other's way. This layout makes it possible to have very different experiences within a single visit.
