Azu Sports Park, Park in Japan
Azu Sports Park is a sports facility in Hanno, Japan, with multiple fields and courts for various activities. The grounds feature a baseball field, a soccer field, two multipurpose sport fields, eight clay tennis courts, and additional open spaces with a children's playground.
The land for this park was selected long ago for its location near a river and availability of open space. Over the years it has grown to host many local sports events and school activities that continue to define its role in the community.
The park carries the name Azu, referring to the local neighborhood where it sits. You can observe how residents use the space daily: families picnic on the grass, children play in designated areas, and neighbors gather regularly for exercise and relaxation after work.
The grounds sit along the Iruma River, offering views and paths for jogging or walking through the property. A nearby parking lot makes it convenient to arrive by car, though some spaces may close on weekdays during winter months.
From various spots in the park you can view the Iruma River, and with some luck visitors might spot ducks or small fish in the water. This natural waterside location adds a calm element that sets the sports facility apart from other complexes.
