History

Sarue Onshi Park began as a lumber yard during the 1700’s. This special spot was the most popular timber storage area for royalty in the area and had a great value to the villages during that time.

In 1976, the lumber company closed down leaving the land to the government who officially rezoned it as a park. This decision was made due to the cities need for more greenery.

Things to See

• Garden Pond The Sarue Onshi Parks garden pond is very pretty now although years back it was not cared for properly and accumulated a lot of algae. Using a special salt has reduced the algae making the water clearer. There are many small fish in the pond which give it that additional touch making its appearance that much more exciting.
