Creating a Park for Disaster Prevention on the Theme of Agriculture
Wakabadai Park is located in the district of Fine Hill Inagi & Wakabadai in Tama Newtown. We utilized the characteristic that the park locates at the boundary between the old community and the new city area, and incorporated a sense of agriculture as the original landscape of this area to the design of this park. It also equips with various disaster prevention facilities for the residents and visitors, and would be used as a base for restoration and reconstruction in case of disaster.
