A loop bus called the Koala Bus links the main-gate car park with the expressway-side car park.
Kanazawa Natural Park is a Yokohama city park in Kanazawa-ku, chosen for the "Kanagawa 50 Parks" list. It adjoins the Kamariya, Kanazawa and Hitorizawa citizen forests, and the Rokkokutōge hiking course from the Nōmiken green space to Mount Tendō in Kamakura passes through its Shida Valley.
The park's name comes from its location in Kanazawa-ku, and its grounds adjoin the Kamariya, Kanazawa and Hitorizawa citizen forests. The Shidanodani marsh, where ferns and deciduous broadleaf trees grow, is crossed by the Rokkokutōge hiking course leading from Nōmiken Green Space to Tendō in Kamakura. The Ukiuki Woods is planted with plum and narcissus.
The park has two car parks: the main-gate car park off the ordinary road and the highway-side car park reached from the Yokohama-Yokosuka Road. A loop bus called the Koala Bus links the main-gate car park with the main gate. The Shidanodani marsh carries the Rokkoku Pass hiking trail toward Tengen in Kamakura.
The park is home to a zoo where visitors can see animals in natural-looking settings. This combination lets people experience both wild landscapes and kept animals in one location.
