Tsukisamu Park, Urban park in Toyohira-ku, Japan.
Tsukisamu Park is an urban park in Toyohira-ku spanning gentle hills with natural forests, multiple water bodies, and walking paths through wooded areas. The grounds feature two baseball fields with night lighting, tennis courts, and an 18-hole golf course.
The site was a small training ground of the 25th Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Japanese Army, named Kanjōdai. In 1905 it was transferred to Toyohira Village and improved through residents' volunteer work. After the war, former army shooting ranges were added and it became a comprehensive park.
The forest called Rekishi no Mori runs from Tsukisamu Shrine to the children's plaza, and its many stone monuments recall the area's long history. The park's wooded grounds continue into the shrine precinct, and the shrine itself is a Shinto site, not a temple.
The park has multiple entry points, with the hill offering easy to moderate walking routes. Wear sturdy shoes, especially on wooded paths and when conditions are wet.
The park features Sapporo's longest slide, built into the hill and using natural slopes for an extended ride. Children experience an exceptionally long and thrilling descent here.
