MATSUNAMI PARK A PLACE FOR PLAY
Play is a community building activity, and also a means for kids to be kids, drawing them away from the wake of the tsunami, while providing a social and developmentally engaging place to retreat. When children are happily occupied, the family can return to a sense of normalcy. As families refind their places within the community, redevelopment efforts have the potential to be strengthened and neighborly interactions will result. By providing this gathering space for locals of all ages, Ishinomaki can once again embody the spirit of collaboration that Japan is so persistently known for.

GLORY SHOT (ending statement)A METAPHOR OF FORMThe mountain motif is not only representative of traditional Japanese gardens and folklore, but also of the legend of survival and perseverance exhibited by Japan on March 11, 2011. Through this addition in Matsunami Park, the story of refuge and ascension is embodied and preserved to inspire hope for generations to come.

The Matsunami Mountain park design consists of three mountain play structures that encourage users to create their own path and scale their way to the top. The design also includes a sheltered garden area for adults, so that they may enjoy the view of the park and keep an eye on their children from a cool and relaxing space.
