The park is situated at a significant elevation in the northern Higashi-ku mountains, providing a distinct micro-climate compared to downtown Hiroshima.
The facility is part of a larger ecological educational site that emphasizes the preservation of local flora and fauna within the Hiroshima Prefecture.
The multi-purpose open space is intentionally designed with wide, clear sightlines to function as an emergency assembly point in the event of local natural disasters.
The Hiroshima City Forest Park multi-purpose open space is a expansive lawn area situated within the larger Hiroshima City Forest Park complex. It serves as a designated recreational zone for picnics, sports, and outdoor gatherings, characterized by its elevated terrain offering views of the surrounding mountainous landscape. The space is maintained by the Hiroshima City Urban Development Association. It features a broad, manicured grassy field that accommodates various family-oriented activities and casual sports. The site is situated near the park’s insectarium and botanical features, integrating natural forest surroundings with landscaped public space.
The elevated perimeter of the lawn provides a sweeping panoramic view of the forest-covered valley.
Bring a portable picnic mat, as the area consists primarily of open grass with limited built-in seating.
Ensure you have adequate sun protection, as the open space offers minimal natural shade during midday.
Pack insect repellent, particularly if visiting during the warmer, humid months, due to the adjacent forest canopy.
Assuming the area provides extensive retail or dining facilities; visitors should bring necessary food and drinks from outside.
Closed on certain days of the week, typically Wednesdays, and during the end-of-year holiday period.
Carry out all trash, as there are limited public waste receptacles; refrain from using unauthorized open fire or barbecue equipment.
