Moerenuma Park, completed in 2005, stands as a testament to Isamu Noguchi's vision of environmental art and the fusion of nature and creativity. The park, with its expansive landscapes and large-scale sculptures like the iconic "Energy Void," is not merely a public space but an embodiment of Noguchi's artistic philosophy. The park's completion, with a significant portion unveiled in 2005, is celebrated as a monumental achievement, one that highlights Noguchi’s lifelong pursuit of "sculpting the earth." The park, which took over two decades to complete, is now a treasure for the city of Sapporo and serves as a global showcase of Noguchi’s artistic genius.

The creation of Moerenuma Park was deeply rooted in Noguchi's desire to design a space that would inspire and engage people, especially children, through playful yet profound designs. The exhibits featured at the park, including unique sculptures and vibrant playground equipment, illustrate Noguchi's whimsical yet powerful approach to art. His creative process, characterized by bold colors and forms, created a distinct artistic environment that leaves a lasting impression on visitors. Moerenuma Park continues to be a source of pride for the people of Sapporo, attracting admiration from both domestic and international visitors, and solidifying Noguchi's legacy in the world of landscape art and public spaces.
