無料のスタッフさんが色んな箇所にいるので声を掛けよう！歴史や文化、あと方言も聞けて観光に来たって気分になる！レンタル自転車で回るようなところではないので足腰には気を付けて！

秋田の中心にありながら、自然と歴史を感じられる素敵な公園です。四季折々の景色が楽しめ、特に秋は紅葉が美しく、散歩にぴったりの場所です。園内には歴史的な建物や銅像が点在しており、ちょっとした歴史散策もできます。また、子ども連れでも楽しめる広々としたエリアがあるので、家族でのんびり過ごすのにも最適です。街の喧騒を忘れられる、リフレッシュにぴったりの公園です。

歴史を感じる荘厳な公園ですが、上まで登ると市街地を見渡せて気持ちいい! 残念なのはお手洗い。特に障害者用はもう少しキレイにしておいてもらいたいところです。
