■SPALDING x go parkey x Imai Shunsuke Hamacho Park Renovation Art Court Project
This project was made possible through a partnership between Spalding, which is committed to creating an environment where everyone can play sports under the banner of PASS FOR THE FUTURE, and go parkey, a general incorporated association dedicated to promoting basketball and its culture and making it more accessible.
Artwork by artist Imai Shunsuke was painted by children living in Chuo Ward, transforming the Hamacho Park court, which had been showing signs of aging, into Japan's first go parkey art court.
This project attracted considerable attention, and go parkey subsequently completed the second and third art courts at Shinjuku Ward Okubo Park and Ikenoue Youth Center, respectively. It was recognized as an environmental initiative.

Location: Hamacho Park Outdoor Basketball Court, Chuo Ward, Tokyo
Organizer: go parkey General Incorporated Association
Sponsor: Spalding
Supported by: Chuo Ward Office

■Spalding's Environmental Initiative: PASS FOR THE FUTURE
Spalding believes in contributing to society through products and sports, working to maintain a better environment for people and the planet and create a sustainable society. With this in mind, we have launched PASS FOR THE FUTURE, an initiative aimed at reducing the burden on the global environment.
Founded in Chicago, USA in 1876, Spalding has added the value of "sustainability" to the "America," "heritage," and "innovation" values it has cultivated over its approximately 150-year history as a sports brand.

Playing sports for the health of people and the planet
For the next 150 years, Spalding aims to contribute to society through product development and environmental conservation.

Creating products that reduce the burden on the global environment
Spalding believes that each person's values are an important factor when picking up something. What we prioritize varies, including our vision for the brand, functionality, trends, price, and beliefs. By adding sustainable products as an option, we hope to offer a lineup that satisfies everyone who purchases Spalding products.

Creating an environment where everyone can play sports
We will increase the number of environments where people can play sports and exercise, and prepare the current environment for the future. By adding value to existing environments and renovating them, we will breathe new life into them without losing their locations or facilities.
To all players who love Spalding products, we will continue to actively work on what we can do now for the future in various ways.
As a sports brand, we will gradually give shape to what we can do. Spalding has begun to take action.
