元茨木川緑地

Moto-Ibaraki River Green Space is a linear park that extends through the city with interconnected pathways and planted areas. The layout includes open lawns, flower gardens, play areas, and a water channel that runs through the center, creating distinct sections.

The green space was created in 1949 after the original river course was altered or managed. This transformation of the former waterway into a public space reflected the city's post-war urban development efforts.

The space serves as a gathering point where residents walk daily and spend time among the plantings. It functions as a green corridor that brings the community together throughout the seasons.

The space is accessible with marked pathways that run the length of the park and offer multiple entry points throughout. Visitors can walk freely and find rest areas, with the most comfortable seasons being spring and autumn.

The park contains many different tree and plant species that bloom or change color at different times of the year. This mixture creates shifting landscapes that look different from season to season and even from month to month.
