2026 Higashi-Sapporo Park (東札幌公園) Water Play Area Full-Day Course

The Higashi-Sapporo Park Water Play Area is a free summer-only water play spot that appears in Higashi-Sapporo Park (東札幌公園) in Shiroishi Ward, Sapporo. In 2026 it is open from Friday, July 10 to Monday, August 31, from 10:00 to 16:30. The venue is Higashi-Sapporo Park in Shiroishi Ward, Sapporo, and the generously sized wading pool offers just the right size and depth for preschoolers through lower and middle elementary school children. Admission is free, and the appeal is that with just swimwear and a towel you can head out on a whim. In the morning, visit the nearby Sapporo Municipal Higashi-Sapporo Library. The day begins in the children's section, letting your child choose the one book that catches their eye most that day. At lunchtime, move about one subway stop to Nakajima Park (中島公園), lay out a packed lunch by the pond or under the trees, and take a slow walk through scenery that includes Meiji-era Western-style buildings and a Japanese garden. In the afternoon, return to Higashi-Sapporo Park, change into swimwear, and splash around in the wading pool until closing. A library, a big park, and water play: a relaxed day built entirely out of everyday Shiroishi Ward. Opening may change due to weather or cleaning, so check the City of Sapporo's information before you set out.
