Shimo-fukushima Park


Shimo-fukushima Park is a public urban park, situated at 4 chōme Fukushima in Fukushima-ku, Osaka, Japan.
The park was constructed at the site of the former spinning factory of the Dai-Nihon Spinning Company, and is the largest park in Fukushima ward. In the park, spinning factory's old brick wall constructed around 1894 remains, which stopped the fire from air raids during World War II.
