Yamagata Prefectural General Athletic Park is a vast park located in Tendou City, Yamagata Prefecture. Developed in 1992 (Heisei 4) for the 47th National Sports Festival (Benibana Kokutai), it has since become a cherished venue for sports and recreational activities for the people of Yamagata. The park features a wide range of facilities, including baseball fields, soccer fields, a track and field stadium, tennis courts, a gymnasium, a swimming pool, grassy areas, playgrounds, and barbecue areas, ensuring there's something for everyone, regardless of age. The park is especially beautiful in spring, when cherry blossoms abound, and in autumn, with its vibrant fall foliage, offering seasonal beauty throughout the year. A restaurant and shops are also located within the park, providing convenient dining and rest options. Many events are held throughout the year, particularly in summer, with music festivals and fireworks displays adding to the lively atmosphere. Nearby, you'll find hot springs and other tourist attractions, allowing for a full day of enjoyment. Yamagata Prefectural General Athletic Park is a beloved park representing Yamagata Prefecture, cherished by many. We highly recommend a visit.
