The park, which covers a total area of approximately 30 hectares, has sports facilities such as an athletic field, baseball field, and swimming pool, as well as a free open space and an outdoor music hall, and can be used for a variety of purposes. The park is also known as one of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in the prefecture, with approximately 1,300 cherry trees in bloom, including the Kaiseizan Grand Shrine on the west side of the park.
