★★★
Please don't imagine other fancy central park you might know. The name maybe just because it lies in the center of Shinagawa and not much to see here. Some people seating having their lunchs on working days and I was just passing this park.
★★★★★
A great park for locals, kids and adults alike! Many sports facilities, and nice train watching in some spots.
★★★★★
ECO festival held annually. Fun and good for kids and bargain hunters. There's also a tea ceremony for foreigners and locals.
★★★★
Right across in front of Shinagawa city general building. Nice sports facilities.
★★★
A basic park with outdoor seating usually occupied during lunch hours by people working in the area or mothers with small children. There’s not a lot to do here, but it’s a good spot to take a quick break as alluded in the last sentence.
