Hiyoshigaoka Hill is an expansive, family-oriented recreational park located within the infield of the Tokyo Racecourse. The area features a full-scale pirate ship playground, 'Jack's Ship,' which is the site's most iconic structure. Families utilize the large, sloping grassy areas for picnics and leisure while maintaining a view of the racetrack circuit. The park is connected to the main grandstand area via a subterranean tunnel, allowing visitors to access the infield without crossing active tracks. It serves as a dedicated space for children and casual spectators to enjoy the racecourse atmosphere away from the high-density betting arenas.
