Cherry Blossoms

One thing the park is famous for its cherry blossom ("sakura") viewing. It has at least three varieties—Someyoshino (photo), Yamazakura, and Yaezakura—which makes for a relatively long viewing season of over two weeks.

Facilities

There are also Baseball fields, Soccer fields, cycling courses and the Setagaya Art Museum.

The 1667 m cycling course doubles as a walking course outside the hours 9–16.

Access

The Tōmei Expressway (東名高速道路, Tōmei Kōsoku Dōro) runs along the south side; Kampachi (環八, the #8 ring road), along the east. The Tōmei Expressway ends at that intersection.

History

The park was opened in April 1, 1957. After the Pacific War (World War II), it was a public golf course. Later the golf course was closed to form current kinuta park.
