2026 Wakaba Park (若葉公園) Wading Pond Full-Day Course

The Wakaba Park Wading Pond is a free summer-only water play spot that appears in Wakaba Park (若葉公園) in Shiroishi Ward, Sapporo. In 2026 it is open from Friday, July 10 to Monday, August 31, from 9:00 to 17:00. The venue is Wakaba Park in Shiroishi Ward, Sapporo, and because the wading pond is shallow, even small children can step in easily and play within a parent's line of sight. Admission is free, and since it is open from morning until evening, you can choose a time that fits the family's schedule, which is a real help. In the morning, visit the Sapporo Beer Museum, just across the Toyohira River (豊平川). The building, an intact Meiji-era brick structure, is a place where you can see with your own eyes what the city of Sapporo grew out of. At lunchtime, move to the adjacent Ario Sapporo to eat well and rest in the cool indoors. In the afternoon, return to Wakaba Park, change into swimwear, and splash around until evening. It is an itinerary that ties the city's history to its everyday life in a single day: a brick historic site and a neighborhood water play spot. Opening may change due to weather or cleaning, so check the City of Sapporo's information before you set out.
