島田緑地

Shimada Greenspace is a nature conservation area in Nagoya with separate zones designated for preservation and regeneration. The park has sections that open to visitors during specific seasons of the year.

The wetland stands as the last remaining natural area that survived residential development occurring in the late 1970s. That period of expansion transformed the surrounding landscape, making this site a valuable remnant of what once covered the region.

The space functions as a place where visitors can observe local wildlife and learn about native plants and animals through guided nature walks. Regular observation meetings help connect people with the biodiversity found in this corner of the city.

The park is accessible by bus and best visited on weekends and holidays between April and October. Visitors should plan accordingly since access is limited outside this season.

The area maintains an acidic environment with low nutrient levels, which allows rare species to thrive here. These special conditions support dragonflies and plants that cannot survive in typical urban conditions.
