Sports facilities
Jōhoku-Chūō Park has two main baseball fields and two smaller fields (for softball and junior use).[1] It also has an athletics stadium (dirt surface) and nine tennis courts (four hard courts, four clay courts, and one artificial grass court).[1] A gymnasium, Itabashi Kuritsu Kamiitabashi Gymnasium (上板橋体育館, Kami-Itabashi Taiikukan), is located adjacent to the park.[1]
Nature
The park contains over 3,000 trees, including Chinese parasol tree, ginkgo, Japanese zelkova, cherry (someiyoshino), sawara cypress, sasanqua, azalea, and camellia.[1]
Archaeological sites
The park contains two archaeological sites: the Kurihara Site and the Moro Site, both of which date to the Japanese Paleolithic period.[1]
Retention basin
A retention basin has been constructed within the park to manage excess water from the Shakujii River during periods of heavy rainfall.[2]
Land acquisition for the project began in the mid-2010s.[2] Construction of the first phase started in January 2018 and was completed in June 2025.[2] The second phase involves the construction of additional caissons adjacent to those built in the first phase, with completion scheduled for 2030.[2]
