The park is also used for events on weekends and serves as a space for local residents to rest and relax. In spring, many cherry trees bloom in the park, and it has even been selected as one of the Japan Top 100 Sakura Viewing Sites.

    Ehime Pref. Matsuyamashi Uenomachi B 46

    特にサッカーがある日は、スタジアムすぐ横にある駐車場(有料)はいつもいっぱいですが、5分くらい歩いて行くと駐車(有料)場は山程あります。サッカー試合帰りは混むので駐車場の先払い(テントで職員の方)してチケットをもらっておくと楽です。スタジアムは良くも悪くもなくです。トイレもきれいです。夏は虫除け必須です!
