The smallest park in the world is situated in Nagaizumi (長泉町), Shizuoka prefecture, according to Guinness World Records.

The park was created in 1988 as a decoration in a small space where two roads meet. It consists of a (very small) wooden bench, a black stone plate with carving of flowers, and some vegetation in a 50 cm square area surrounded by a brick edge.
