赤塚山の地形と溜め池を活用した公園
赤塚山公園は豊川を代表する都市公園。
赤塚山の山裾の地形を利用した三つの溜め池を公園要素として取り込み、湿地から里池、里山の自然を身近に楽しめる公園となっている。
子どもが水遊びできる「水の広場」は、無料のミニ水族館も付属し、迷路のように入り交じる立体水路がおもしろい公園池となっている。
赤塚山公園の池たち
日本屈指のジャブジャブ池「水の広場」
タコの足のようにあちこちに伸びた水路が楽しい。平面で構成される水面に対して、赤塚山の山裾斜面を水路でラッピングすることで三次元性を加えた。さらに立体部分の室内はミニ水族館になっており、これほど子どもゴコロをくすぐるジャブジャブ池は日本屈指のレベルにあると思う。
