YokkaichiCity Central Green Park is a large green park that includes an athletics field, a general gymnasium, and a central football field. Sports classes in YokkaichiCity are also held here, and the facility is also used for practice by club activities and club teams. There is a trim course for pedestrians, a lawn area with children's play equipment, a cafe and a restaurant, and it is a place of relaxation.

Furthermore, it is also the home of many Olympians, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics wrestling gold medalist! An article introducing the charms and ways to enjoy Yokkaichi Central Green Space has been published.

Olympian's sacred place

Olympian's sacred place

On the second floor of the track and field stadium, there is a practice field for the Yokkaichi Junior Wrestling Club, which Tokyo 2020 Olympic wrestling gold medalist Mayu Mukoda (currently Mayu Shidori) belonged to when she was in elementary school.

The track and field stadium was also used by men's marathon and 400x4 relay athletes. YokkaichiCity Central Green Space can be called a sacred place for Olympians, as athletes can still be seen using it when they return to their hometowns.

At the entrance of the general gymnasium, autographs of Olympians associated with YokkaichiCity and uniforms of professional athletes are also displayed.

The football field is the home ground of the Pearls.

Pearls players practice on the football field

At the C field of the football field, the women's rugby team "PEARLS" is practicing hard with the catchphrase "From Mie to the world!" For the Rugby World Cup 2021 New Zealand held from October to November 2022, eight of the 32 registered members of the Japan Women's Rugby National Team were selected from the Pearls.

You can also enjoy muscle training and walking.

There is a training room at the back of the first floor of the gymnasium where you can do strength training using machines. For up to 2 hours, the fee is 300 yen for adults and 150 yen for junior high school students and younger.

There are no machines for aerobic exercise, so we recommend the walking course (free of charge) on the second floor. It's fully air-conditioned, so you can walk comfortably in all seasons, whether it's hot summer, cold winter, rain, or snow. One lap is 320m, 10 laps is 3.2km. It's perfect for relieving lack of exercise. You can also see the archery range from the walking course.

The outdoor pedestrian-only trim course is 2km in length. Some people jog, walk, or walk their dogs.

Cafes and restaurants too!

Kazuki Ochiai, captain of Viatin Mie Valley, which is based at the general gymnasium, is a seasonal Frappuccino from Starbucks.It seems that it is recommended. Passion tea is also a favorite, and she says she adds citrus pulp to it.In winter, it's all about Starbucks latte..

There is also the Italian restaurant ``VANSAN'' that you can easily go to with your family, and ``Park Cafe Terrace'', a soup curry restaurant supervised by a famous Hokkaido restaurant.

I go to YokkaichiCity Central Green Space about once a week, sometimes three times a week. Ten years ago, there were no general gymnasiums or restaurants, and there was only the first gymnasium, track and field stadium, and a closed swimming pool that still had the atmosphere of the Showa era. A major renovation was carried out in preparation for the Tokowaka National Athletic Meet, resulting in its current appearance. The parking lot is well maintained, and the general gymnasium is fully equipped to the point where you'll want to brag about it. You don't have to be YokkaichiCity to use it, and you can eat delicious food, so whether you like sports or not, please give it a visit.
