Aoba Park

Aoba Park is a large green recreational area in Chitose with diverse zones for outdoor activities and rest. The grounds include a library, picnic areas, sports facilities, and multiple entry points that provide access to different sections of the park.

The park was founded in 1955 as a major recreational space and public facility for the Chitose community. Its creation represented a turning point in developing green spaces for local use and leisure.

The park draws visitors during spring when cherry blossoms appear, creating a natural gathering place for people to walk and spend time outdoors. In autumn, the changing leaf colors attract people seeking to experience the season's visual changes.

The park is about a 20-minute walk from JR Chitose Station, with multiple entry points accessible from different directions. Comfortable footwear is recommended since the grounds are extensive and there are paths throughout to explore.

The park serves as a starting point for cycling journeys across Hokkaido and offers camping facilities for overnight stays. This infrastructure connects the location to a broader network of cycling routes throughout the region.
