The site was originally used as a landfill for industrial waste within Izumi City. Once the landfills reached their full capacity, the local residents wanted to revitalize the area into a space of relaxation with nature. In 1979, the Izumi Recycle Environment Park was born. The park was built and maintained with recycling in mind; buildings, facilities, and equipment were constructed utilizing recycled materials. Shipping containers were also repurposed into buildings. Park benches were originally built from recycled plastic bottles and trays, and are continually repaired instead of replaced.

Since the development of the park, there has been a rapid revitalization of local wildlife and insects in the area. With limited space in Izumi City, a multipurpose athletics ground was also built on-site. Various teams for sports like soccer and baseball use this athletics ground to practice and schoolchildren from kindergarten onward also use the space for sporting events.

The farm showcases a variety of flowers throughout all four seasons, grown with limited use of pesticides. The farm itself is a large circular shape, divided into several sections for planting a variety of flowers. At the end of a bloom, the land is prepared and repurposed for the next seasonal bloom. This means the park appears fully in bloom throughout the year.

Winter flowers (January and February) include Japanese daffodils and plum blossoms. Spring blossoms (March through May) include trumpet daffodils, Iceland poppies, rape blossoms, moss phlox, tulips, and poppies. The summer months (June through August) sees blooms in the rose garden, sunflowers, and lavender, which is famous among park regulars. Finally, autumn months (September through November) sees a wonderful bloom of cosmos flowers, and the continuation of the rose garden.

A market selling fresh vegetables from the local area opens at the park every Saturday and Sunday, with the exception of January and August. Some of the highlights include mizunasu (a type of eggplant which can be eaten raw) and onions, which were first grown in Senshu.

A café located by the car park sells homemade rusks and cookies, alongside a selection of drinks and ice cream. The café is open on Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays year-round. A flower shop is located under the vibrant red structure near the entrance to the park. They specialize in seedlings of herbs and plants throughout the year dependent on the season. There are plenty of rest areas within the park where people of all ages can enjoy a picnic on a sunny day.

Admission to the park is free for everyone, and opening hours are between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The park is closed on Mondays and over the New Year holidays, and may also be closed in the event of poor weather conditions. We recommend that visitors visiting by public transportation get off at the Nankai Bus Noke Station, from which the park is a 15 minute walk. Visitors arriving by car can use parking facilities—there are 140 spots available for no charge.
