Yumenoshima Park (夢の島公園, Yumenoshima Kōen) is a sports park in Yumenoshima, Kōtō Ward, Tokyo, Japan. It was made by improving a landfill site called Yumenoshima, which was the final disposal site for garbage from 1957 until 1967. Yumenoshima was the site of the archery event of the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.
Admission to the park is free of charge, but the Tropical Greenhouse Dome and sports facilities require an entrance fee.
Opening times and holidays
The park is open all year round. However, the barbecue area is closed on New Year's holidays, while the Tropical Greenhouse Dome and Daigo Fukuryū Maru Exhibition Hall are closed on New Year's holidays and Mondays.
Festival
The Akahata Matsuri (赤旗まつり) (lit.'Red Flag Festival') is sometimes held in the park. Organised by the Japanese Communist Party, it takes place once every four years or so and lasts about 2 or 3 days. The most recent one was in November 2014.
2020 Olympics
Yumenoshima Park was the venue for archery events in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It also hosted archery for the 2020 Paralympics. The qualification field was completed in February 2019. A test event for the Olympic and Paralympic Games archery events was held in July 2019.[1]
