三木市緑が丘スポーツ公園, Sports park in Miki, Japan
Midorigaoka Sports Park in Miki is a neighbourhood park with a multi-purpose ground surfaced in masa soil, used for baseball and soccer, and eight tennis courts. A children's plaza has animal-shaped play equipment, horizontal bars and a sandbox, and a management building oversees the grounds.
The site was established on November 1, 1987, becoming a major sports facility for residents of Miki City in Hyogo Prefecture. Its opening marked a turning point in how the community could access organized sports venues.
The park was built for residents' leisure and physical fitness, and since April 1, 2013 it has been run by the designated manager Miki Sports Partners. The paid multi-purpose ground, surfaced in masado sand, is used for baseball and soccer, and the eight paid tennis courts sit alongside a children's plaza with animal play equipment, horizontal bars and a sandbox.
The park is easy to walk through and offers clear separation between different sports areas. Visitors should note that some facilities may be in use for scheduled activities, so checking ahead about availability is helpful.
The park has eight tennis courts and a multi-purpose ground surfaced with masado, a decomposed granite. Both are paid facilities, but residents and workers of Miki and ten neighbouring cities and towns, from Akashi to Takacho, pay a preferential rate; others pay more. The grounds close on Tuesdays and from December 28 to January 4.
