Sports facilities
Jōhoku-Chūō Park has two main Japanese-style baseball fields and two small baseball fields (for softball and junior Japanese-style baseball). It also has an athletics stadium (dirt surface) and tennis courts (four hard courts, four clay courts, one artificial grass court). There is a gymnasium called Itabashi Kuritsu Kamiitabashi Gymnasium (上板橋体育館, Kami-Itabashi Taiikukan) next to the park.
Nature
The main trees and plants that can be found in the park include Chinese parasol tree, ginkgo, Japanese zelkova, cherry (someiyoshino), sawara cypress, sasanqua, azalea and camellia. Further, Tama Zoological Park cultivates Eucalyptus in six locations in Japan as food for its koalas, and Jōhoku-Chūō Park is one of them. Nine kinds of Eucalyptus are grown here.
Each tree in the park is assigned a number, displayed on a blue, green, white, or yellow label on the trunk. The park contains more than 3,000 trees in total. As a toritsu kōen (municipal park), Johoku Park uses this numbering system to make it easier for staff to identify, monitor, and measure individual trees. A similar system is used in Hikarigaoka Park.
Archaeological sites
Both the Kurihara Ruins and the Moro Heritage Site are located in the park.
Retention basin
A retention basin was constructed in the park to handle excess water in the Shakujii River particularly during times of torrential rainfall. Expropriation of residential land in the area between Oyama High School and Shakujii River began in the mid-2010s. The first phase of the construction started in January 2018, and was completed in June 2025. The second phase of the construction project involves building two more caissons adjacent to the two caissons built in phase one. The construction period is forecast to be from March 2025 to September 17, 2030.
