Contents |
The fronton was built in 1963 by the municipality, due to the high demand by the professional and aficionate players of the Guipúzcoa province, originally named Anoeta fronton. In 1995, after repair and maintenance work the fronton was renamed after Mariano Juaristi Mendizábal who played with the seudonym of "Atano III", often considered one of the best pelotaris of all time.
In Atano III is played every year the most important game of the sport, the 1st Hand-Pelota Championship, with 39 games until the current date. The main modalities played in the fronton are Hand-pelota and Paleta-rubber.
