Fukuoka Prefecture and Fukuoka City announced basic plans for the redevelopment of Ohori and Maizuru parks. The project named the combined area of the two parks Central Park and aims to further integrate them. In the first ten years, improvements will be made for their parking areas and routes of connection, then the construction of a large square for events in the middle will follow. The prefecture and the city consider the 80-hectare open space amid a metropolitan area to be very valuable. Source: Fukuoka Prefecture
