The park occupies a former site of the Edo-period Omori shell mounds, a significant archaeological discovery in Japanese history.
The 40-station field athletic course is modeled after the natural terrain and requires physical climbing and balancing.
The park contains a dedicated 'Peace Square' featuring monuments dedicated to global harmony.
Large portions of the park's forest are intentionally maintained as wild, non-manicured woodland to support local biodiversity.
Heiwa-no-mori Park is the largest park in Ota City, covering approximately 99,000 square meters. It is designed around the theme of peace and serves as a major green lung in the urban landscape. The grounds feature a large central pond and extensive forest areas connected by winding paths. An athletic field with 40 different types of field athletic equipment is available for recreational use. A historical exhibit displays artifacts from the Omori Shell Mounds discovered nearby. The park is integrated with the neighboring Ota-ku Heiwa-no-mori Park Athletic Field. Open spaces are landscaped with native trees and manicured gardens. It functions as both a memorial site and a community recreational facility.
