The facility was specifically designed to leverage the natural topography of the Ashitaka mountain range foothills.
The park serves as a designated evacuation site for the local community in the event of natural disasters.
The venue has hosted professional football matches in the J3 League since 2017.
Ashitaka Park is a large multi-purpose athletic facility located on the eastern slopes of Mount Ashitaka in Numazu. The park grounds house the Ashitaka Athletic Stadium, which serves as the primary home venue for the Azul Claro Numazu professional football club. In addition to the stadium, the facility features baseball fields, tennis courts, and a multi-purpose lawn area. The park's elevated position offers unobstructed views of Mount Fuji on clear days. Trails wind through the surrounding wooded areas, connecting the sports facilities with recreational green space. The park serves as a central hub for regional sports events and community fitness in Shizuoka Prefecture. It is managed via a partnership involving Mizuno, focusing on integrating professional sports infrastructure with public leisure space.
The elevated observation points near the park's upper parking zones offer a direct, wide-angle view of Mount Fuji framed by the park's greenery.
Visit during the spring season to see the surrounding mountain foliage in transition.

Do not attempt to access the sports fields or stadium tracks without a formal booking or during restricted match-day periods.
Individual sports facilities may be closed for maintenance on specific weekdays; the park grounds generally remain accessible.
