2026 Nakanuma Park Water Play Area (中沼公園 水遊び場) Full-Day Course

The Nakanuma Park Water Play Area (中沼公園 水遊び場) is a free water play spot that appears only in summer at Nakanuma 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 Nakanuma Park in Higashi Ward, Sapporo, and because the water is shallow, even small children can step in easily and play within a parent's sight. Admission is free, and its greatest appeal is that swimwear and a towel are all you need to head out on a whim. In the morning, visit Moerenuma Park (モエレ沼公園), which stretches across the northern part of the same Higashi Ward. In grounds where the vision of sculptor Isamu Noguchi took physical form, first walk through the cool, soaring space of the Glass Pyramid, then step out onto the grass, climb Moere Hill and watch the Sea Fountain that rises in summer. Spread your packed lunch out on shaded grass and save your energy for the afternoon. Then, in the afternoon, return to Nakanuma Park and splash about until closing time. With a morning walking a sculpture park and an afternoon soaking in the water, it is a day that takes in summer in Higashi Ward as a whole. Opening may be cancelled on some days for weather or cleaning, so please check the City of Sapporo notices before you set out.
