Higashi Ayase Kooen 東綾瀬公園 East-Ayase Koen park
with a 2 km straight cherry blossom lane and a huge bend, so that many people from the nearby Danchi residential areas could come here easily.
To built this large park, many of the local farmers offered part of their land and encouraged the construction, to make Ayase a pleasant place for the residents to come.
- quote -
Higashi Ayase Park is connected to the scattered squares around Ayase Station by a bridging promenade, formed into a U-shape.
What was formerly a paddy field, has since then been repurposed as this Metropolitan park under their readjustment project.
The park spans a total length of 2km, in which a change in seasons can be observed from the growth of cherry, bald cypress, and sweetgum trees and azaleas.
Along the West promenade of the park lies a flower garden, taking advantage of the former irrigation system of narrow streams across the field. The babbling of the water facilitates a sense of relaxation from being at one with the natural landscape, and a multi-purpose field serves to complement the various health play equipments available.
In the Northern regions of the park, there are additional sporting facilities surrounded by lush greenery.
In the event of a natural disaster, the park works in cooperation with the local community by providing toilets and stove benches. Well-equipped sports facilities are also made available across the park; myriad variety of seasonal flora propagate in the park to deliver a relaxing atmosphere.
The sports park offers a basketball field, tennis courts, and an indoor arena equipped with heated swimming pools, providing enjoyable options regardless of age.
