A three-hectare multi-purpose sports park was inaugurated in Tokyo, Japan, on 12 October, presenting the city with new facilities for basketball 3X3, skateboarding, and Sport Climbing.

The Livedoor Urban Sports Park is located in Ariake, only a few minutes east of Aomi – where Sport Climbing made its Olympic debut in August 2021.

The IFSC donated a consistent number of holds, macros, and volumes that were used during the Tokyo Olympics to equip the Climbing facility. Additionally, the same Boulder mats used at Tokyo 2020 have been put back into service at the Livedoor Urban Sports Park.

Kobinata Toru, IFSC Vice President and Sport Manager for Sport Climbing at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, was one of the speakers at the ceremony. Standing alongside representatives of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Mr Kobinata was also one of the authorities who cut the ribbon and formally inaugurated the park.
