1HIROSHIMA GATE PARK PLAZA
A large space of approximately 6,500 m2 has been placed in the center of the park where a variety of events can be held.The space can be flexibly divided depending on how it is used, such as as an event venue, backyard, or regular park use, and can be zoned to suit a variety of events.
2-Piece Promenade
Based on the concept of Kenzo Tange, who was selected to design Peace Memorial Park, a new 190m long promenade lined with cherry blossom trees has been constructed on the "north-south axis (Axis of Peace)" when looking out from the Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb Victims to the Atomic Bomb Dome. Somei-Yoshino cherry trees line both sides of the promenade, and part of the central pavement is made from stone paving that was used for the streetcar lined with atomic bombings.
3Takami Square
This hilly plaza on the north side of Peace Promenade is characterized by a large staircase with water flowing through the center and a large camphor tree.
4Children's Square
This area makes use of the topography of Takami Hiroba, where children can play freely.
5Universal Ribbons
The facility inherits the shape of the former Hiroshima Municipal Baseball Stadium and offers a variety of outdoor activities thanks to its various configurations. It can be used as benches to encourage outdoor use, and there is also a ribbon along the lawn where you can lie down. It also includes a water supply that is always available, and a power source that can be used for events.
6.Large Roof Plaza
The structure design incorporates elements of folded paper cranes into a row of trees that is conscious of the park's landscape, and the structural form in which pillar units support each other has resulted in a large, spacious roofed plaza that combines a small space with a large open space.
7HospitalityToilet
This highly functional toilet is designed with consideration for a variety of users, including wheelchair accessible toilets and children's toilets.The toilet can be used not only in normal times but also in emergencies by filling the tank with water.
8Urban Activity Sites
The Urban Activity Site can be used for a variety of street sports, including in-line skating, dancing, ball games, and bicycle riding. There is also a skateboard park on the east side, where even beginners can easily enjoy themselves.
9Home Base/Pitcher's Plate
A monument of home base and pitcher's plate has been embedded in the spot where the stadium was originally home to the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.
10.Koi Forest - Rest Area
In keeping with the memory of the old Hiroshima Municipal Baseball Stadium, we have created a rest area that utilizes the benches (seating) in the outfield right-side stands along the outer wall line. This memorial area houses the Hiroshima Toyo Carp championship monument, which can be viewed from the rest area.
A group of wooden stores that can be used in conjunction with the park, creating a new flow of people and liveliness in the city center (Park facilities eligible for public tender (*3))
A wooden building inspired by a row of trees that creates a sense of unity with the park
The buildings are single- and two-story buildings with a horizontal design in muted colors, and consideration has been given to the surrounding landscape by making the facilities and equipment less visible.
By arranging the facility's pillars in a tree-lined structure, the building and trees are in harmony, creating a landscape that further enhances the park's appeal.
Open space integrated with the park
The store will make use of the park space and provide space for eating and resting, enhancing the facility's appeal.
