Hamanasu之丘公園 / Hamanasu-no-oka Park

Hamanasu之丘公園（Hamanasu日文漢字為浜茄子，意謂著日本玫瑰）位於石狩市，是由廣大的沙丘所構成的公園。除了有石狩市的市花Hanamasu之外，還有約180的海濱植物在這裡生長著。園內有整修頗長的木製步道，在海風的吹拂下逛逛公園也十分愜意。Hamanasu的花期雖然在6月下旬到7月上旬，從春天至秋天仍可以在這裏看到各種花卉。進入木製步道以外的區域是禁止的。

Hamanasu-no-oka Park (Ishikari City) consists of a vast sandy area. Hamanasu-no-oka stands for “hill of rugosa rose” in English. Not only rugosa roses, but also other 180 seaside plants grow wild there. There is a long boardwalk through the park, and visitors can enjoy walking in the sea breeze. The best season for viewing the rugosa rose is from the end of June to the beginning of July, however various flowers bloom from spring to autumn. It is forbidden to step off onto the sandy land from the boardwalk in order to protect the seaside plants which are designated as protective area by Ishikari City. It is a nice to walk to the very end of the park, then return along the beach.
