Not an awful lot to recommend it - a large, open space with lots of building work. There is a statue, but it’s hardly reason alone to visit.

Public park where Yamagata Castle used to be located. As of July 2023, looks like ongoing renovations continue with much of the park gated off.

Nice and quiet place for a walk during the winter season. The entrances are limited but it’s a nice walk to get there. There are remnants of the old fortification and the paths are mostly well marked. There were a couple of closed parts (safety due to snow?) but there are alternate ways to get there anyway. I liked watching the ducks float around on the stream that surrounds the park. There is a patrols rebuilt castle and a old hospital inside the park.

Wonderful place for cherry blossom viewing. There are plenty of people but one is still able to have a leisurely walk. Even outside of sakura season, the park is a good place to go to for some quiet time and to relax.

Wonderful during cherry blossom season. Old and huge trees - felt like a jungle of cherry blossom trees surrounding me. Keep in mind that you should visit this place in the daytime since this park only has basic park lights. The inner area which is the Castle is in construction for now so you can only see the gates.
