練馬城址公園

Nerima Castle Ruins Park sits next to Toshimaen Station and features walking paths along Shakujii River, flower gardens, and recreational areas spread across the grounds. Different zones are connected by pathways and offer space for various activities.

The park opened in May 2023 on the former site of Toshimaen Amusement Park, which operated in this location for many decades. This transformation marks a significant shift from entertainment use to green space for the community.

The park has areas set aside for viewing flowers, with seasonal blooms like cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas in summer, maple trees in autumn, and hellebores in winter. Visitors experience the passage of seasons through the changing plants and colors throughout these sections.

The park offers free admission and wheelchair rental services for visitors with limited mobility. The grounds feature emergency equipment and rest areas that can serve additional purposes during natural disasters.

The grounds feature specialized benches that convert into cooking stoves during emergencies. This dual functionality shows how public spaces in Japan can serve everyday use and emergency preparedness at the same time.
