Atsubetsu Park & Stadium is a large park and venue that has sporting events throughout the year. The stadium holds up to 20,000 people and was constructed in 1980. The park is one of the few that not only has a stadium but also a training ground and running track. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium here acts as one of the home grounds for the Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo football team, with the other being Sapporo Dome. Other facilities at the stadium include a training room, exercise classes, plus an indoor running track.
Atsubetsu Park is not only home to the stadium and athletes, but it serves as a recreational space for the locals in the area. You can find this park a good place to take a stroll, or a run to keep fit. There is a track that surrounds the park. Others take advantage of the benches and grass area to relax. In the park, there is a memorial plaza, a wall fountain plus a large sculpture that pinpoints the main entrance. For those wishing to take the bus from the station, you can take the Chuo Bus 66, or 67. Get off at Hiraoka 9-jo 3-chome and walk for 5 minutes.

Opened in 2001 and with seating for up to 54,000 people, Sapporo Dome is the biggest stadium in Hokkaido. It is a unique stadium that is used primarily for baseball games and football matches. It is also used for large concerts for big name bands on the occasions they tour Sapporo. This futuristic stadium is unique in its design which switches between two entirely different surfaces, baseball games are played on an underlying artificial turf field, while football games are held on a grass pitch that slides into and out of the stadium as needed.
