Mitsugi Park (Japanese: 見次公園, Mitsugi Kōen) is a public park in Itabashi, Tokyo, Japan. The park is located in Maeno, Itabashi Ward, and is known for a large pond fed by natural spring water, one of the few remaining spring-fed ponds within Tokyo's 23 wards.[1]
The park covers approximately 14,000 square metres, about 45 percent of which is occupied by the pond.[2] The pond is popular for recreational boating and is also a habitat for water birds such as spot-billed ducks, Eurasian coots, and mallards.[1]
The park is one of several well-known parks in Itabashi Ward featuring ponds, along with Ukima Park and Akatsuka Tameike Park.[1]
