Verny Park, Urban park in Yokosuka, Japan
Set along the waterfront, Verny Park features French-style gardens with 130 varieties of roses, elegant fountains, and a scenic boardwalk overlooking the harbor.
The park, opened in 1946, stands on former steel works grounds and commemorates French engineer Leonce Verny through a memorial bust and historical exhibits.
Throughout the year, the park hosts numerous events including the Verny and Oguri Festival, wine festivals, and jazz rock concerts against the maritime backdrop.
Located five minutes from Keikyu Shioiri Station, this free-entry park provides parking facilities at 420 yen per hour and remains accessible around the clock.
Visitors can observe both Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force vessels and US Navy ships from the park's vantage points across Yokosuka's main harbor.
