hectares (99 acres). 8450 trees: including oak (sawtooth and Konara), maple, dogwood, keyaki (Japanese zelkova), red pine,

Nogawa Park was formerly a golf course owned and operated from the early- to mid-1960's by the International Christian
University until the land was sold to the Tokyo metropolitan government in 1974. The layout of the short-lived golf course can
be found here (scroll down toward the bottom of the page):
