Yes. Fans usually reach it on foot from Bubaigawara Station, and the park is a normal public neighborhood park with open access.

Can I recreate photos of the Mahiru bench scene here without problems?

Generally yes, but this is a residential community park, so keep shoots brief, avoid blocking paths, and do not photograph children or nearby homes.

Amane notices Mahiru sitting alone on a park bench in the rain, capturing the lonely first moment that draws the two closer.
This scene appears early in the story, when Amane Fujimiya finds Mahiru Shiina sitting alone in the park in the rain. Although Mahiru still looks calm on the surface, she gives off a loneliness very different from her usual school image, and after hesitating, Amane decides to lend her his umbrella. This moment becomes the true starting point of their relationship: before it, they were barely more than classmates aware of each other, but afterward, Mahiru begins to trust and notice Amane because of his quiet kindness, while Amane starts to understand the fragility hidden beneath her seemingly perfect exterior. In real life, the anime scene corresponds to Fuchu Baba Higashi Park, and the overall composition is quite close to the actual location, especially the bench placement, path layout, surrounding trees, and the sense of open space. The anime presents the area in a cleaner and softer palette to emphasize the lonely, rainy mood, while the real park feels more like an everyday neighborhood park, with ground textures, vegetation height, and background details varying by season and maintenance. Signage and everyday park fixtures are simplified or downplayed in the anime so the focus stays on the characters and the bench. As an anime pilgrimage spot, it has a strong degree of accuracy and is well suited for map and Street View comparison photography, though visitors should remember it is a local community park and be respectful of residents and other users.
