深川公園, Public park in Koto district, Tokyo, Japan.
Description
Fukagawa Park is a public green space in Koto ward that divides its land into distinct functional areas. The eastern section contains tennis courts, while the western side features children's play equipment and spacious open lawns for recreation.
History
The park was established in 1873 by the Japanese government as one of Tokyo's earliest public spaces, built on former temple grounds. This conversion reflected the city's transformation during the period of rapid modernization.
Culture
The park functions as a gathering place where neighbors and families spend time together doing sports and enjoying outdoor activities. On weekends, you can see people engaged in baseball, soccer, and other pastimes throughout the grounds.
Practical
The park sits just four minutes on foot from Monzen-nakacho Station and offers free general admission. Keep in mind that tennis courts require a fee to use and close during evening hours, so plan accordingly if you want to use specific facilities.
Did you know?
The grounds contain separate fenced-in practice areas that allow baseball and soccer training to happen at the same time in different zones. This design enables multiple groups to train side-by-side without interfering with each other's activities.
