Kosuge Nishi Park Skateboard Area opened on 1 April 2025 inside Kosuge Nishi Park, which sits atop the Kosuge Water Reclamation Centre in Katsushika-ku. The park is notable for its all-stone surface — rare in Japan — and was designed with input from local professional skateboarders Daisuke Hayakawa (Tokyo 2020 Olympic Japan team coach) and Joshua Nishimiya (both Katsushika natives), with construction by MBM Parkbuilders. Despite a compact footprint, the layout packs in nine obstacles spanning a street section and a mini bowl, including a China bank modelled on a famous San Francisco spot and an unusual bank-to-wall. Views of Tokyo Skytree are visible from the park. Helmets are mandatory for all riders; pads are required for junior-high-age and under. Rental gear is available at the window.

History

The park was conceived as a way for local pros Hayakawa and Nishimiya to give back to the neighbourhood where they grew up and learned to skate. Hayakawa, who coached Japan's medallist squad at the Tokyo 2020 Games, said his motivation was to "repay his roots in Katsushika." The stone surface and world-class obstacle selection — including a China bank re-creation and a bank-to-wall rarely seen in Japan — reflect an ambition to create a spot that would appeal to top professionals worldwide while remaining welcoming to complete beginners.
