Moerenuma Park

Amazing experience. Can rent bikes cheap and easily onsite. Some amazing places and stops to look at in this quite large park. Would be hard to walk to everything here without a bike. Two decent mountains to climb up as well for nice views!

The best park i have ever been to! Noguchi designed this park with a playful touch. Its like walking into a dream world with geometry playgrounds and pyramid mountains. You can also rent a bike as the park is massive.

One of the best park in Sapporo. You can get the view of whole city from here. There is a prism shaped building there, it is free for you to go inside. Children have lots of area to play and people from any age group can enjoy there. I just loved the place.

Visited this park in Sapporo during the summer, and I have to say I was amazed by its sheer scale. The place is incredibly vast, so I’d recommend setting aside at least a full day to explore—anything less would feel like a waste. The variety here is impressive: from the glass house to the pyramid, installations, and wide open spaces, there’s so much to see and experience. The glass house can get a bit hot in summer, but overall this park is truly a gem in Sapporo and well worth visiting, even in the warmer months.

This park was such an unexpected surprise to find so near to a busy city. It’s such an amazing open space to spend some time at when visiting Sapporo. Every single item at the park displays deliberate thoughtful planning by the architect. What a gem!

Nice place to spend 2-3 hours. A bit out of the way. Some of the park attractions were closed during my visit for example the water fountain probably due to seasonal change. The view from the top of the hill was breathtaking and the gentle wind swaying the tall grass was quite an experience.

Once a forgotten landfill, this space has been beautifully transformed into a sprawling green park—thanks to the creativity and vision of the people. Now, it's a beloved place where Sapporo’s residents come to stroll, play, and bask in the gentle warmth of the sun, surrounded by trees and open skies. It’s a quiet reminder of how imagination can turn even the most unlikely places into something truly special.

Incredible place! It is amazing that in the 70s it was a garbage dump and they started a redevelopment project (in the Crystal Pyramid museum they explain year by year how they were designing it). By the hand of the incredible Isamu Naguchi, the park is a complete work of art. I recommend renting a bike (1 hour ¥100 and 2 hours ¥200, the standard bike).

A wide open park in the middle of a city! Plus free parking?! How wonderful! This park is extremely large and has so much to do. We went in the first week of June. Unfortunately, it was a little overcast, but we still had a wonderful time. There are tennis courts, a baseball field, art sculptures, a large water fountain show, the hill and the glass pyramid. I believe there is also a beach of some sort, according to one of the signs we saw. There are many paths around the park that are perfect for bike riding. We enjoyed our time listening to the birds and walking up the large hill. It is quite a sight from the top. We also ventured into the glass pyramid where there are nice restrooms and a fancy looking restaurant. We did not eat there, but it looked like a very nice setting. The water fountain area looked neat, but we just missed the show from up close. We saw the fountain going off while we were on top of the hill, but did not know how limited the showtimes were. See picture for showtimes; it must look beautiful at night. Overall, a wonderful park to take a break from the busy city! Clean crisp air and large open fields.

What Guggenheim is to Bilbao, Moerenuma is to Sapporo. What Gehry is to Gugenheim, Noguchi is to Moerenuma. Kind of true. Kind of not true.
