竜王公園

竜王公園, Public park in Nishi Ward, Hiroshima, Japan

Ryuo Park is a general park in Ryuo-machi, Nishi-ku, Hiroshima, built on a slope on elevated ground overlooking the Hiroshima city centre. Its grounds were a landfill for waste generated in Hiroshima between 1971 and 1976, later landscaped into the park. Facilities include a management centre, a multipurpose plaza, tennis courts, a family plaza, an eskie tennis court, a clock tower plaza, a softball ground, a symbol plaza and a baseball ground.

The park occupies a slope in Ryūō-chō, Nishi-ku, Hiroshima, on land that served as a municipal waste landfill from 1971 to 1976. After the landfill closed, the site was redeveloped into a general park, with the slope used to create terraced grounds overlooking the city.

The park's name, Ryūō, means "dragon king". Its grounds are laid out on a slope above the city, with a clock tower plaza and a symbol plaza among the sports facilities. Visitors reach it from the Ōsako housing estate bus stop, a 12-minute walk, or from the Mitaki-Kannon bus stop, a 20-minute walk.

The park sits on a slope above Hiroshima, so the grounds are terraced and reached on foot or by bus. From the JR West Hiroshima Station, take Hiroden Bus line 22 to the Mitaki Kannon stop and walk about 20 minutes; from JR Mitaki Station on the Kabe Line the walk is about 26 minutes. Bon Bus also serves the Osako Danchi stop, roughly 12 minutes on foot from Nishi-Hiroshima Station.

The park occupies a slope on what was Hiroshima's municipal waste landfill from 1971 to 1976, and the elevated position that makes the city view possible is the reclaimed ground itself. The site was redeveloped as a general park after the landfill closed.
