Highlights of Odori Park Tended by local volunteers and sponsoring companies from late April to mid-October, gorgeous flower beds decorate the park and are a popular sight. Throughout July and August, a flower competition in which about 40 companies participate is held, and you can see the beauty of each flower bed and the pride put into them. Contest Flowerbeds in West 2-chome to 7-chome Odori Park is divided into five areas, and each with its individual attractions like fountains and playground equipment. ■ West 1- & 2-chome "Exchange (International Exchange Zone)" The easternmost end of Odori Park, where the Sapporo TV Tower is located, is an area dedicated to international goodwill and there you'll find a "Benson Bubbler" drinking fountain donated by Sapporo's sister city of Portland, Oregon, USA.
