Nogawa Park (野川公園, Nogawa kōen) is a public park in Nomizu, Chōfu, Tokyo. It is located at the intersection of Chofu with Koganei and Mitaka, and parts of the park extend to those cities as well.

History

[edit]

The land for the park was purchased from International Christian University in 1974. It had previously been used as a golf course by the school.[1]

Geography

[edit]

The park is bordered to the north by International Christian University, and partially surrounds the American School in Japan campus. A pedestrian bridge connects two parts of the park which are separated by Tokyo Metropolitan Route 14.[2]
