Sloping, canyon-shaped rooftop park cascading eight levels with streams, waterfalls and hundreds of plant species.
This guide to Parks Garden in Osaka starts with a brass plate hidden among the ferns, marking a pitcher's mound that no longer exists. It traces the site's nearly forty years as Osaka Stadium, home of the Nankai Hawks and a stop for touring stars like Madonna and Michael Jackson, before the team left for Fukuoka in 1988 and the roar went quiet. Look for a second marker nearby that traces where home plate once stood.
