Bloom Park (ブルームパーク, Burūmu Pāku) is a location in the Lemniscate YouTube series, AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES, and in the Spike Chunsoft Shorts. It is the real world counterpart to the Somnium world PSYNCIN' IN THE PaiN.
It is located in the Kabasaki District[1] of Tokyo, Japan. Previously a fully operational public amusement park, it was shut down in 2013, due to an explosion at a chemical plant located nearby. Since then, it has been torn down and abandoned.[1]
On November 2019, the body of Shoko Nadami was found on the merry-go-round, kicking off the events of the game and beginning the new Cyclops Serial Killings.

Trivia[]
- The amusement park was the first location in the series to be revealed, as it was part of the game's first official trailer.[2]
- Date frequently compares the Ferris Wheel visible in Bloom Park to an "unblinking eye," which is representative of the eye motif in the game.
- Though this place appeared in Where it all began..., one of the shorts created in promotion of AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative, it does not appear in the actual game in the end, and becomes one of the locations in the first game that is not continue appearing in the sequel game (the others are Okiura Fishery Cold Storage Warehouse and Okutama Mountains). However, in Kizuna's Song in the Bonus option, the player can choose Bloom Park as the dance background.
