Civic activity
Participation and collaboration of various actors
After the Great East Japan Earthquake, various activities were carried out through “bonds” between individuals and organizations, such as the involvement of volunteers from all over the country in the restoration of the affected areas.
At this park, various actors such as citizens, NPOs, and companies are continuously conducting civic activities such as memorial events, disaster prevention education, and forest planting. A “participatory management council” has been formed so that government and civic groups can cooperate with each other to carry out activities in the park smoothly. We are practicing civic activities and cooperation.

Activities at the citizens’ activities base
One of the principles of this park is to “deepen bonds between people”. In this practice, various actors such as citizens, NPOs, and companies participate and collaborate in activities such as tree planting activities, traditional activities, education for disaster prevention, and facility maintenance.
Up until now, activities related to memorial services and earthquake disaster traditions such as the “Hang in there Ishinomaki” signboard and “Minamihama Tsunagukan” and activities related to forest making such as the “planting seedlings in a Greenhouse” have been carried out in the park.
In order to continue such activities in a constructive way, a part of the park is positioned as a “citizen activity base”, and it is a place where various actors promote citizen participation and collaborative efforts, and the following groups are participating.
