It was primarily used for baseball, and was the home field of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.

The first stadium was renamed Former Hiroshima Municipal Stadium (旧広島市民球場, Kyū Hiroshima Shimin Kyūjō) on April 1, 2009, and used for amateur baseball.

In October of the same year, stadium memorabilia was auctioned off and demolition started on November 29.

It was completed on February 28, 2012, leaving only a portion of the right field stands (35m x 6m) to be preserved for future generations.
