Komazawa Olympic Park

Komazawa Olympic Park is a sports park in Tokyo that spans Setagaya and Meguro wards. It was the second venue of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, where wrestling and volleyball were among the events held. After the Games it opened to the public as a park on 1 December 1964, and it covers about 41 hectares.

The park has an athletics stadium, a gymnasium, an indoor ball court, a training room and a kyudo range for Japanese archery. Outdoors there are two ball fields, tennis courts and separate baseball fields for hardball and softball. A cycling course runs through the grounds, and the cycling center lends practice bikes for small children.

Zelkova, kobushi magnolia, cherry and sudajii trees grow across the grounds. A large kobushi near the west entrance is listed among Setagaya's 100 notable trees and turns white with flowers in spring. Near the same entrance, the Jabujabu Pond is a wading pool opened free each summer for children up to the third year of elementary school. Three playgrounds have play equipment shaped like squirrels, pigs and horses, and the park also has a dog run.
