Irigaike Park, Urban park in Nagakute, Japan.
Irigaike Park is an urban park in Nagakute, Aichi Prefecture, centred on a pond that was originally an agricultural reservoir. A walking path circles the water, lined with cherry trees, and the grounds also hold the Nagakute City Irigaike Gymnasium, tennis courts with lighting, two public toilets and two car parks.
Irigaike Park occupies the site of a former irrigation reservoir for agriculture. When the surrounding land was reorganized through a land readjustment project, part of the pond's southeastern section was reclaimed and the area was developed as a park. The pond itself remains at the centre of the grounds.
The pond began as an agricultural reservoir, and the surrounding land readjustment project reshaped it into the park seen today. Cherry trees were planted along the walking path that circles the water, so the route is lined with blossoms in spring. The grounds also hold the Nagakute City Irigaike Gymnasium at 1001 Irigaike.
The park is reached from Irigaike Koen Station on the Linimo line, or by N-bus at the Irigaike Koen Nishi stop and Meitetsu bus at the Kaniwara and Shobugaike stops. Two public toilets stand inside the grounds, and parking is available in one lot within the park and another beside it. A walkway circles the pond, lined with cherry trees.
