The 1964 Olympic athletes who ran, wrestled, and volleyed in this park are long gone, but it’s still a hub of athletic activity, with everything from tennis courts to a baseball field to an archery range. There’s even a special lawn where dogs stay active! Even with the concrete sports facilities, Komazawa is a very pretty place. There are sculpted hedges, tall trees, and plenty of flowers. Spring might be the best time to visit, considering that’s when the magnolia trees and azaleas are in bloom, though runners brave the trails in all seasons.
