Izuo Park, Public park in Osaka, Japan
Izuo Park is a 45,293 m² district park in the Izuo neighborhood of Taisho Ward, Osaka. Its west side holds a multipurpose ground and baseball field, the southeast has a ground golf course, and there are two gateball courts. It is the second-largest park in Taisho Ward after Chishima Park.
In 1932 Osaka city planning designated Izuo Park and Chishima Park as the two park sites in Taisho Ward, and land acquisition began. Izuo Park opened on 31 March 1950, the second park built in the ward after the war. A green shaded path linking it with Chishima Park was completed in March 1979.
Izuo Park has a multi-purpose ground, a baseball field, a ground golf course and two gateball courts, so local teams and clubs use it for organised games. It is also designated as a temporary evacuation site for the neighbourhood.
The park is easily accessible by public transportation with several entrances from surrounding streets. It is best explored on foot, allowing you to discover the different zones at a comfortable pace.
The park's 45,293 m² make it the second-largest park in Taisho Ward after Chishima Park. In 2011, construction began on a water distribution facility beneath the multipurpose ground, and by 2013 a 110 kW hydroelectric generator was installed on the site.
