天童市の中心部にある舞鶴山(天童公園)は、まちのシンボルとして市民に親しまれています。一帯は市民の憩いの公園になっていて、山頂の展望広場（平成21年度に再整備）からは、月山や朝日連峰、最上川などが一望できます。
また、舞鶴山は桜の名所としても知られています。４月中旬の土・日にはおよそ2,000本の桜の下で、天童桜まつり「人間将棋」が行われます。
Mt. Maizuru (Tendo Park), located in the center of Tendo City, is familiar to citizens as a symbol of the town. The entire area has become a park for citizens to relax, and from the observation plaza at the top of the mountain (redeveloped in 2009), you can get a panoramic view of Mt. Gassan, the Asahi Mountain Range, and the Mogami River. Mt. Maizuru is also known as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot. On Saturdays and Sundays in mid-April, the Tendo Cherry Blossom Festival ``Ningen Shogi'' is held under approximately 2,000 cherry blossom trees.
