弥富輪中公園

輪中(わじゅう)とは岐阜県南部と三重県北部、愛知県西部の木曽三川(木曽川、長良川、揖斐川)とその支流域に存在した堤防で囲まれた構造あるいはその集落のことです。

水郷地帯に住む人々は、木曽川の洪水を防ぎ農耕のための用水を引き入れ、排水を輪中の外へ流すことに苦心努力していました。
排水に苦慮した立田輪中普通水利組合は、木曽川改修工事に併せて明治34年(1902年)にこの樋門を完成させました。
当初より排水効果は余り上がらず、用水の取水に利用されるようになりましたが海部幹線水路の完成とともに遊休施設となりました。

公園には立田輪中普通水利組合が明治35年に完成した樋門が水利史の遺跡として保存されています。

キャッシュは公園のどこかに隠されています。
