Nagasaki Seaside Park, Seaside park in Nagasaki, Japan.
Nagasaki Seaside Park stretches across 6.5 hectares along Nagasaki Harbor, combining a network of canals with generous green spaces by the water. The landscape design uses modern elements and creates several areas for different activities.
The park opened in March 2004 as part of the modern redevelopment of Nagasaki's waterfront. This development marked a turning point in revitalizing the harbor area for recreational use.
The park incorporates Japanese design principles in its Aqua Garden, where spring water from nearby mountains feeds fountains and cascades. Visitors can observe how traditional water features blend into this modern urban setting.
The Land Plaza section offers large lawn areas with views over the bay, ideal for relaxation and activities in good weather. The open spaces are available year-round and accommodate groups and individual visitors alike.
The park received the Good Design Award in 2004 for its innovative integration of urban space with natural water features. This recognition highlighted the careful balance between modern urban design and the use of mountain spring water.
