Moerenuma Park is a comprehensive park in Sapporo that is intended to be the base of the ‘Circular Greenbelt Concept’ that combines the green spaces of the city of Sapporo within a loop. Construction commenced in 1982, and the park had its grand opening in 2005. Sculptor Isamu Noguchi created the basic design based on the concept of ‘the whole being a single sculpture.’ The fountain and hills form many geometric shapes in the expansive grounds, facilities for play equipment and so forth are arranged in an orderly manner, and the landscape can be enjoyed as a fusion of nature and art.’
