River Mall, Linear urban park in Kōyō-chō Naka, Japan
River Mall is a linear park extending along the waterfront of Rokko Island with landscaped areas and paved walking paths. The space features multiple zones designed for strolling, resting, and recreation with water views.
The park was established in 1990 as part of the Rokko Island development project, representing a new approach to urban green space in the city. It was created in response to the need for accessible outdoor areas in this newly developed neighborhood.
The park serves as a gathering place for the community, where people of different ages meet for seasonal events and daily outdoor activities. Local residents use the walkways and green areas as part of their regular neighborhood life.
The park is accessible from multiple entry points and connects well with local public transportation. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the linear layout extends across a long distance.
The park combines shopping centers with recreational green spaces in an integrated design where retail and leisure coexist. This mixed-use approach allows visitors to move between shopping and nature without leaving the area.
