I visited on May 6, 2024 to enjoy the roses. I was able to fully enjoy the beauty and fragrance of the roses, but what was even more impressive were the three family scene sculptures by American sculptor Seward Johnson (see attached photo). They look soft to the eye (bicycle tires, a sweater sticking out of a stroller, a girl's skirt tying her shoelaces, etc.), but they are hard to the touch, and I was surprised by the gap between what I see with my eyes and what I touch with my hands.

Nice green space in the middle of busy Hommachi. There are several areas to enjoy, such as a kid's play area, a huge rose garden, and a soccer field with surrounding cherry blossoms. Very well frequented by Osaka urbanites looking for a place to chill out. The creek-like fountain is full of kids cooling off in the summer heat which, while technically prohibited, is allowed... although some families take advantage of this by allowing their kids to use water guns etc. Good place for people watching, lots of wannabe models getting photos taken near the roses (or trying to without backgroud people ruining the shot, which is hilarious). I don't recommend the park bathrooms, as is usual in Japan. Only if you're desperate, otherwise walk to the nearest 7-11 instead. Lots of restaurants nearby, and convenience stores, for quick bites.

That's my conference trip. In the morning, a short venture to the Utsubo Park took me into a tale of family love.
A garden complex with a small section devoted to the blessing of dad and mum. The statutes depict an apprehensive dad coaching his daughter to ride a bike. Then comes a mum teaching her boy to tie his shoes - and you'll see how comfortable it feels.

Utsubo-koen is a great place to escape the city for a bit. It has a wonderful rose garden and some shade under the trees which is a popular spot for families and groups of friends to spend time together. There are some nice cafés along the edge of the park.

This is my favorite park for my wife and I to go picnic. When the weather i warm, there is a fountain area for kids and parents to splash around and have fun. Be ADVISED, it's free and the kids will never want to leave! I believe it was the site of a former landing strip during WW2. Popular at cherry blossom viewing time in late March/early April. Easy access by subway. I can't heap praise enough about this wonderful green space.

We paused whilst trekking between destinations. It's just a beautiful local park with nice paths, good spots to sit and a public toilet that saved our lives!

One of the few decent parks in Osaka, there aren't that many. The rose garden is actually spectacular when the roses have blossomed...
Worth going there for a walk if you stay nearby, you can then indulge yourself in one of the many nearby cafés and eateries, most of them are quite good and fairly priced!!

A bit of everything here. Play ground, pond , fountain, biking and walking areas, flowers to look at, bathroom facilities, public transportation and food moments away. Plus large and ancient Shinto shrine about 1-2 blocks away. Old and new in one trip

Thought this was a very pretty park with many regular local people taking walks with children and their dogs . All different kinds of roses in bloom and pretty man made river waterways with water fountains. This was such a beautiful respite on a hot afternoon and was wonderful to see the parents interacting with their children in the streams.

To me, tourism is not just about hitting the top 10 sights in a destination. I like to imagine what it would be like to live in the place that I'm visiting.
This park was a short distance from my hotel. I visited it twice during my two week stay in the area. The first time was in a weekday evening. I enjoyed watching the locals come out to the park, some to walk their dogs, some cutting through it on their way home from work. The second time was on a Sunday morning when many were enjoying the tennis courts and children were playing. You may not find this place in many "what to see in Osaka" lists, but I recommend it.

Hi, Mishija123. What would you like to know about this attraction?
Is there any playground for kids in the Utsubo park ? With slides, see-saws etc. If so, does anyone has a photo of the playground for kids at Utsubo park?
