Matsuyama Central Park, Urban park in Matsuyama, Japan

Matsuyama Central Park is a 42.25-hectare urban park on Ominegadai, west of Shiroyama in Matsuyama. Its grounds hold a European-castle-style observation tower with 360-degree views, a city environment learning center, plazas, playground equipment and flower beds. Construction began in 1983 and all facilities were completed in 1999.

Construction of Matsuyama Central Park began in 1983 on the Ominegadai hill west of Shiroyama, and all facilities were completed in 1999. Excavations on the site uncovered a mid-Yayoi period settlement on the summit and kofun such as the Asahidani No. 2 tomb on the northwestern ridge. In March 2024 the Happymaru no Oka animal welfare center opened within the grounds.

The park's third car park hosts the Matsuyama Ueki Matsuri, a plant and garden-tree fair, every spring and autumn. In March 2024 the Happymaru no Oka, Matsuyama City's animal welfare centre, opened inside the grounds. The park itself bans pets, yet a dog run was added in 2014.

The park provides ample parking for visitors and many areas offer free access to the grounds. However, specific sports facilities and events require separate admission tickets, so check ahead if you plan to use certain venues.

The park's lookout, built in the style of a European castle, gives a 360-degree view over the Seto Inland Sea, the Matsuyama plain and Matsuyama Castle. In August 2022 it was certified as a Japan Night View Heritage site (natural night view).
