Ōtaguro Park (大田黒公園, Ōtaguro Kōen) is an urban park in Suginami, Tokyo. It opened on October 1, 1981, and was created from the residence of music critic Motoo Ōtaguro,[1] where he lived from 1933 until his death in 1979.[2]

Ōtaguro's piano, a 1900 Steinway & Sons, is preserved in a building in the park.[3]
