2026 Higashinaebo Kita Park Water Play Area (東苗穂北公園 水遊び場) Full-Day Course

The Higashinaebo Kita Park Water Play Area (東苗穂北公園 水遊び場) is a free water play spot that appears only in summer at Higashinaebo Kita Park in Higashi Ward, Sapporo. In 2026 it is open from Friday, July 3 to Sunday, August 23, from 10:00 to 16:00. The venue is Higashinaebo Kita Park in Higashi Ward, Sapporo, and because the water is shallow, even small children can play within arm's reach of a parent. Admission is free, and its greatest appeal is being close enough to visit on a whim. In the morning, visit Moerenuma Park (モエレ沼公園), where the vision of sculptor Isamu Noguchi took physical form. Walk through a landscape that is itself a single work of art, with the Glass Pyramid, Moere Hill and the Sea Fountain that rises high in summer. At lunchtime, move to Sapporo Satoland, spread out a packed lunch on the broad lawn and spend unhurried time among crops and animals. In the afternoon, return to Higashinaebo Kita Park and splash about until closing time. Sapporo summer evenings turn cool once the sun goes behind clouds, so don't forget a layer to put on afterwards. Opening may be cancelled for weather or cleaning, so check the City of Sapporo notices before you set out.
