A bustling civic park that is the gateway to a new lifestyle filled with enthusiasm, excitement, and encouragement.
In Spring 2023, the former Hiroshima Municipal Stadium will be transformed into a civic park. HIROSHIMA GATE PARK aims to be a space for everyone that is familiar and accessible, much like the old municipal ballpark. It also offers a peaceful place to unwind in your own way, surrounded by nature. Just as the people of Hiroshima cheered, rallied, and were inspired by the Hiroshima Carp, this is a space where we can cheer on those who will build our future and cultivate new interest in the city. A place not only for rest and relaxation, but also for exciting and inspiring experiences, overflowing with warmth and encouragement. The future of Hiroshima begins at this park.

From ballpark to bustling civic park
We are creating a park inside the area encompassed by the Peace Promenade, a symbol of hope for the future that connects the northern and southern points of the Peace Memorial Park, and two ribbon-like borders reminiscent of the shape of the former Hiroshima Municipal Stadium: a “green ribbon” of greenery that runs along the outer edge of the park, and a “universal ribbon” comprised of a concrete structure that encircles the main traffic area of the park and can be used by park visitors in a variety of ways. By connecting the different areas of the park in this way, we aim to create a lively, playful atmosphere and a sense of flow unique to this place and the way it brings people together.
