Mikaho Park, Public park in Sapporo, Japan
Mikaho Park is a sports facility in a residential neighborhood of Sapporo with tennis courts, baseball fields, and a seasonal gymnasium. The grounds contain multiple areas designed for different activities and training throughout the year.
The Mikaho Gymnasium within the grounds was an Olympic competition venue during the 1972 Sapporo Winter Games, hosting multiple winter sports events. This Olympic connection gave the park a significant place in the city's sporting history.
The small zoo that operates here from June through October lets visitors spend time with animals like chipmunks and mountain goats in an interactive setting.
The grounds feature a skating rink with curling activities in winter, while summer offers outdoor sports and exercise opportunities. Plan your visit based on the season, as different facilities are available depending on the time of year.
The park's name comes from the initials of three individuals who donated land for its creation, an unusual origin for a public facility.
