大阪府立臨海體育中心

The Osaka Prefecture Coastal Sports Center includes two large gymnasiums, measuring 1,555 and 1,088 square meters, plus a 1,593-square-meter ice skating rink.

The facility, constructed between 1971 and 1972, was initially built to provide recreational opportunities for workers in the Sakai-Senpoku coastal industrial zone.

The center became a community focal point in 2013 when figure skater Daisuke Takahashi contributed funds to prevent its closure, rallying local support.

The facility operates year-round, offering multiple sports programs, skating sessions, and training rooms, with temporary bus services replacing the suspended Nankai Hagoromo Line.

The sports center survived a proposed closure in 2008 through a community fundraising initiative that collected half of the renovation costs.
