Along the river 石神井川 Shakujiigawa at its border,

The name is a connection of two words
早 from 早淵 Hayabuchi (a very old name of this area)
宮 from 宮ヶ谷戸 Miyagayato
The district used to be a part of 仲町 Nakamachi (Nakacho).
In 1965 the name was introduced after a vote of the inhabitants.

This former military housing complex and airfield in northern Tokyo is now a sprawling park full of wide-open spaces and tree-lined paths. Spend time among the 17,000 trees and thousands of blooming plants. If you drop by during spring, its 1,000 cherry trees and spacious fields make it a great place for cherry blossom picnic parties and its paths are perfect for admiring the brilliant fall colors.
There is also a library.
Other facilities include fields for various sports, a daytime camping field, a barbecue area, a bird sanctuary, an archery range, a pond, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and play areas for kids.
