Matsuyama Central Park

The 41-hectare park features both Botchan Stadium and Madonna Stadium baseball fields, alongside an outdoor water park and martial arts training facility.

Inaugurated in 2000, the Botchan Stadium within the park became a central venue for national baseball events, including the Japanese High School Baseball Championship.

The baseball stadium bears the name of Botchan, referencing the literary connection to author Natsume Sōseki who maintained strong ties to Matsuyama city.

The park provides parking for 2000 vehicles and contains multiple sports facilities, with free entry to general areas while specific venues require separate admission fees.

The No Ball Museum inside the park preserves baseball history through exhibits, while the Aqua Palette offers water activities with slides and a lazy river.
