GOTENZAN PARK, Public park in Nishi-ku, Sapporo, Japan

The 25-hectare recreational space contains multiple facilities including playgrounds, tennis courts, ball game areas, and 27-hole park golf courses.

The land transformed from a quarry site in the Fukui area through a local citizen movement that led to the cessation of mining operations.

The park incorporates a traditional waterwheel, reflecting the heritage of Nishino district which previously contained 140 water-powered mechanisms.

The park provides 544 free parking spaces and operates from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM during warm months, with BBQ facilities available from May to October.

A dedicated firefly waterway runs alongside a restored waterwheel cabin, creating conditions for firefly observation during summer evenings.
