Meitoku Park, Public park in Meito-ku, Nagoya, Japan
Meitoku Park is a green-space park in the northeast of Meito-ku, Nagoya, covering a hill between 50 and 70 meters in elevation and measuring 600 meters north to south and 400 meters east to west. Its highest point is Karasuyama at 72.6 meters. The grounds include Meitoku Pond, a playground, a children's camp area, a baseball and soccer field, and a parking lot on the northwest side.
Meitoku Park was designated as an urban planning park on 15 February 1958. Most of the designated area was scheduled for completion by 2017, while work on the remaining southeastern section is planned to begin from 2038 onward. The park covers a hilly area at 50–70 m elevation, 600 m north–south and 400 m east–west, with its highest point at Karasu-yama (72.6 m).
The park's name comes from Meitoku-ji, a temple in the former Inokoishi village; the area straddles the old hamlets of Ujimawari and Kanō. Today the Inokoishi Community Center on the grounds serves as a meeting place for the Inokoishi and Toyogaoka school districts. The pond is used for fishing crucian carp and crayfish.
