The park is built on land formerly occupied by the Nakajima Aircraft Company, which later became a Nissan Motors production facility.
The park serves as a designated secondary evacuation site for the Suginami City emergency management plan.
Much of the site remains an open 'harappa' (field) to allow for large-scale disaster response operations if necessary.
The site was converted into a park following a multi-year redevelopment project to revitalize the industrial zone.
Momoi Harappa Park is a local community park located on the former site of the Nissan Motors Ogikubo factory. The park spans approximately 3.9 hectares, featuring expansive grass lawns specifically designated for ball games, jogging, and recreational activities like kite flying. It serves as a vital disaster prevention base for the Suginami district, equipped with emergency infrastructure. The design emphasizes open space, minimizing large structures to accommodate large crowds and neighborhood gatherings. Wide pedestrian paths circle the perimeter, creating a dedicated track for local runners. The park incorporates mature trees and wide-open sky vistas rarely found in dense Tokyo residential zones.

Check the local Suginami disaster maps if you are interested in the park's dual-purpose infrastructure.
Do not expect shaded canopy areas as the park is designed primarily as an open-air field.
Clean up all trash as there are limited public waste bins; refrain from using professional-grade athletic equipment that may disturb other park users.
