南足柄市運動公園, Public sports park in Minami-Ashigara, Japan.
Minami-Ashigara Sports Park is a 14.1-hectare facility with a baseball stadium, multipurpose fields, and tennis courts spread across the grounds. The stadium includes a main grandstand with individual seating and open grass areas for spectators beyond the foul lines.
The baseball stadium was completed in 1997 and the full park opened to the public two years later in 1999. This phased approach allowed the facility to grow as local sporting needs expanded.
Local teams and families use the facilities regularly for practice and friendly matches throughout the year. The cherry trees draw visitors during spring bloom season when people gather to enjoy the natural surroundings while watching games.
The park provides comfortable viewing options with covered seating in the main stand and open grass areas for casual visitors. Walking paths connect all the sporting areas and the grounds are accessible from multiple entry points.
The baseball field uses an unusual mix of clay infield and natural grass in the outfield, creating different playing surfaces that affect how the game is played. These specific dimensions at 120 meters to center and 92 meters down the lines shape the strategic aspects of games held here.
