Rinshinomori Park
In 1900 this park began as the Meguro Experimental Nursery for the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, it later become Rinshinomori Park in 1989. The beautiful greenery, streams and winding paths are popular with bike riders and joggers. The "Great Field" is a must for a picnic when the cherry blossoms are out in spring and the kids love the splashing pool in summer. There is also play equipment and a sand pit for children too.
Location: 2-6-11 Oyamadai, Shinagawa-ku.
