I actually always wondered about whether or not anything could grow there. I always sort of assumed it was too radiated for it for a long, long time.

The park was up and running by 1954, so I would think the effects weren't that severe. There was a great typhoon a month after the bombing, flooding all of the area (it's in the nook between two branches of a river) and that, I think, helped wash away the contaminated soil.
