Hakusan Park

Hakusan Park (白山公園, Hakusan-kōen) is a park in Chūō-ku, Niigata, Niigata Prefecture, Japan.

History

The 1964 Niigata earthquake caused the sandy soil under the city to liquefy, damaging many city facilities. The aging baseball stadium was converted to an earthquake memorial using funds from the earthquake disaster relief money. This is currently the Niigata Prefectural Hall.

From the 1990s, aging facilities were demolished. A riverside picnic site covering approximately 7 hectares was created, and north and south bound traffic was diverted under the park via a tunnel.

Other facilities in the park
gollark: It's these stupid network effects and the fact that their platform does not directly integrate with anything else.
gollark: And you can't get around it (without breaking the ToS) because of the ridiculous custom client thing.
gollark: (This is in fact not true. My real age is [ERROR], as I am an entity existing outside of space and time and not subject to foolish mortal concepts like "linear time".)
gollark: I'm fine with somewhat funny loading messages, but not as actual UI elements.
gollark: I'm 12 as a joke!
