The park was originally developed on the site of the former Sapporo Agricultural Experiment Station.
The Green Center conservatory allows for indoor plant viewing and gardening exhibitions during the harsh winter months.
The park's rose garden features over 200 different varieties of roses that reach peak bloom in July.
The facility serves as a venue for seasonal flower exhibitions, including displays for lilies, chrysanthemums, and winter-hardy perennials.
Toyohira Park is a notable urban green space in Sapporo recognized primarily for its extensive flower gardens and the Green Center facility. The park contains a large rock garden and specialized beds that host varying seasonal blooms, notably roses and lilies in the summer months. It features an extensive playground area designed for children, including climbing structures and slides. The on-site Green Center functions as a year-round botanical conservatory and gardening information hub. The grounds also host tennis courts and an open grass field for recreational use. It serves as a central hub for local horticulture enthusiasts and families living in the Toyohira Ward. The park landscape is maintained to showcase diverse plant species adapted to the Hokkaido climate.

The outdoor park is open year-round, but the Green Center conservatory is closed on certain Mondays for maintenance.
Refrain from picking flowers or walking into planted flower beds; ensure children stay within the designated play zones.
