Tokyo has a new park. It is called Harajuku Green Park. It opened last Saturday.
The park is in the center of the city. Before, this place was an old parking lot. Now, it is full of life. There are many trees, flowers, and grass. People can sit on benches and relax. Children can play in the open space.
Many people visited the park on the first day. Families walked together. Friends sat on the grass. Some people brought their dogs. It was a sunny day, so the park looked beautiful.
The city government built this park for everyone. Tokyo is a very busy city with many tall buildings. People need a place to rest. The park is quiet and peaceful. It helps people feel calm.
There is a small cafe in the park. You can buy coffee and tea there. You can also buy snacks. The cafe uses wood from local forests. It is an eco-friendly building.
The park is free to enter. It is open every day from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. You can reach the park by train. It is a short walk from Harajuku Station.
The city plans to add more gardens next year. They want to plant more flowers. They also want to add a small pond for birds.
Many people are happy about the new park. One visitor said, "I love this park. It is a great place to meet friends." Another person said, "It is nice to see green trees in the middle of Tokyo."
Parks are important for big cities. They make the air cleaner. They give people a place to exercise. They make life better. If you are in Tokyo, you should visit Harajuku Green Park. It is a wonderful place to spend your afternoon.
