History
The fronton was built in 1963 by the municipality, due to the high demand by the professional and aficionate players of the Gipuzkoa province, originally named Anoeta fronton. In 1995, after repair and maintenance work the fronton was renamed after Mariano Juaristi Mendizábal who played with the pseudonym of "Atano III", often considered one of the best ''pelotaris'' of all time.Modalities
The main modalities played in the Atano III fronton are Hand-pelota and Paleta-rubber. Atano III is one of the frontons which held one of the most important yearly competitions in the sport, the 1st Hand-Pelota Championship, with 40 finals played there until the current date."JUAN MARTÍNEZ DE IRUJO Y JULEN RETEGI SE JUEGAN HOY LA TXAPELA DEL MANOMANISTA EN EL ATANO III DE DONOSTIA, QUE CELEBRARÁ SU FINAL NÚMERO 40 DE LA MODALIDAD Y RECUPERA AIRES DE GLORIA"Events
