2026 Naebo Green Park Water Play Area: Full-Day Course

Naebo Green Park Water Play Area is a water play area that appears in a residential neighborhood of Higashi Ward, Sapporo, only in summer. In 2026 it is open from Friday, July 3 to Sunday, August 23, from 10:00 to 16:00. The venue is Naebo Green Park in Higashi Ward, Sapporo, and because the water is shallow, from ankle to about knee depth, even children who have only just started walking can play within their parents' reach. Use is free, and the greatest appeal is how easily you can drop in whenever you feel like playing. In the morning, visit the nearby Sapporo Village Local History Museum (札幌村郷土記念館) to learn about the era when this area was called Sapporo Village and onion fields spread across it. For lunch, move to Sapporo Factory, built on the site of the Kaitakushi Beer Brewery, and eat at a relaxed pace while cooling off in the glass-roofed atrium. In the afternoon, change into swimsuits and return to Naebo Green Park to splash about until the sun sinks low. Summer breezes in Sapporo are cool even during the day, so having something to pull on after getting out of the water is reassuring. The opening can be suspended for weather or cleaning, so check the City of Sapporo's information before you head out.
