Fukuoka City celebrated the opening of a new park in Island City, designed specifically for bird watching. The park, named “Island City Habataki Park,” spans approximately four hectares and includes a constructed freshwater wetland that makes up one-third of its area, with restricted access to preserve the habitat for various bird species. The inauguration ceremony, attended by about 100 locals including school children, emphasized the park’s educational potential, including bird watching and wildlife courses. The park, which will be fully completed by 2027, will also feature grassy areas and artificial hills, enhancing the city’s recreational and educational facilities.
