Description
Higashi-Shirahige Park is a green space along the Sumida River featuring walking paths, sports courts, and landscaped areas. The facility includes four tennis courts, a baseball field, and exercise equipment scattered throughout for various recreational needs.
History
The park was founded in 1986 when Tokyo decided to create more green spaces in densely populated neighborhoods. This establishment was part of a wider effort to give residents throughout the city access to outdoor areas.
Culture

Practical
Sports facilities can be reserved in advance through the park office and are accessible for different skill levels. It is recommended to register beforehand if you plan to use the courts or fields.
