Facilities
Sapporo Art Museum
The Sapporo Art Museum contains changing exhibits from artists connected with Sapporo and Hokkaido, as well as other Japanese and international artists.
Sapporo Sculpture Garden
The sculpture garden is set in an expansive hilly circuit containing 74 sculptures by 64 artists. It is closed during the winter season, when a snowshoeing trail operates instead.
Satō Chūryō Children's Atelier
The works of Churyo Sato, a sculptor born in Miyagi Prefecture and educated in Hokkaido, are displayed in this atelier, which also hosts workshops for children to learn sculpting.
Takeo Arishima Residence
The residence of Takeo Arishima, a famous novelist of the late Meiji (era) and early Taishō eras, was moved to the park. Arishima was educated at Sapporo Agricultural College, now Hokkaido University, and spent many years in Sapporo, where his father owned a tenant farm. The residence contains exhibits and information about Arishima and his life. A cafe is also on the premises.
Outdoor Stage
An outdoor stage hosts live performances of classical, jazz, and other varieties of music during the summer season. It has been the site of the Sapporo Jazz Festival, among others.
