Takaido Park (高井戸公園, Takaido Kōen) is a public park located in Suginami, Tokyo, Japan. The park was developed as part of Tokyo's urban green space and disaster-prevention planning and opened in stages beginning in 2020.[1]

Overview

Takaido Park was originally designated as a planned sports park in 1957.[1] For many years, development did not proceed, and parts of the planned area were occupied by facilities such as corporate sports grounds and railway infrastructure. Following the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, the importance of large-scale disaster-prevention parks in Tokyo was reassessed, and the site was prioritised for development.[2]

The park is divided into northern and southern sections by the Kanda River. Development has focused initially on the southern side, with plans for lawn areas and sports facilities across the site.[2] The park is located near Takaido Interchange and is accessible from Fujimigaoka Station on the Keio Inokashira Line.
