Toyohashi Park — Attraction in Toyohashi

戦国時代、三河国の支配の重要拠点として吉田城が建立された。江戸時代は三河吉田藩の藩庁が置かれ、明治時代の兵部省の管轄となる。太平洋戦争後、豊橋公園として整備され、現在の姿に至る。 豊橋市美術博物館等のいくつかの文化施設はあるものの、園内の半分以上はスポーツ施設として整備され、テニスコート・陸上競技場・野球場があり、1年を通してスポーツイベントが盛んである。吉田城の遺構は石垣・土塁・堀をいくつか残すのみで、公園の北西にある鉄櫓は戦後に再建されたもの。 公園西部の、吉田城の遺構が点在するエリアは、歩道が入り組んでおり多くの樹木が植えこまれているため、ボール遊びなどのには向かない。幼児向けの遊具が設置されているエリアはあるが、それほどの広さは確保されていない印象である。どちらかと言えば、スポーツ施設を活用したスポーツ、ジョギングや散策向けの公園と言えよう。

During the Warring States Period, Yoshida Castle was built as an important base for the control of Mikawa Province. During the Edo period (1603-1867), it was the seat of the Mikawa-Yoshida clan, and came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War during the Meiji period. After the Pacific War, the area was developed into Toyohashi Park, where it stands today. Although there are several cultural facilities such as the Toyohashi Museum of Art, more than half of the park has been developed as sports facilities, with tennis courts, a track and field stadium, and a baseball field, and sporting events are held throughout the year. Only a few stonewalls, earthworks, and moats remain of Yoshida Castle, and the iron tower in the northwest part of the park was rebuilt after the war. The western part of the park, where the remains of Yoshida Castle are scattered, is not suitable for playing ball etc. because of the intricate sidewalks and many trees. There is an area with playground equipment for toddlers, but it does not seem to be large enough. The park is more for sports, jogging,...

I like Toyohashi park because it is relatively a big park in the city. I love the momentary feeling of being Lone or away from the hustle and bustle of the city when you start to walk at the back of the museum towards the river. My favorite spot would be the “view deck” beside the castle. I can sit there for a long time to watch the sunset or just be still. It just gives me peace...
