Maidashi Ryokuchi is designed as a greenbelt and children's playground, with a public water fountain, play equipment and a nature trail.[4]. During daytime, mothers and their children from the nearby high-rise apartment buildings have a chance to meet in the park - an encounter called Kouen debyu (公園デビュー in Japanese, or "debut in the park"[5]?). The barrier-free nature trails also provide a recreation area for older people. Pupils from the nearby Fukuoka junior high school often play there after school.

It is the biggest of the 10 parks in the Maidashi school district.[4] The park provides a meeting place for citizens of all ages to enjoy and is an example of a Kessetsu kikan (結節機関 Nodular system?) in Japan.

In 1924, Hakata wan Tetsudo Kisen (博多湾鉄道汽船 Hakata bay railway and steam ship company?) settled the electrical tramway between Shin Hakata (新博多 the New Hakata station?) and Kazu shirama (和白間?).
