2026 Kitano Fureai Park Splash Pond Full-Day Course

The Kitano Fureai Park Splash Pond is a free water play spot that appears only in summer at Kitano Fureai Park in Kiyota Ward, Sapporo. In 2026 it is open from Sunday, July 5 to Sunday, August 23, from 9:00 to 17:00. Water play areas in Kiyota Ward open for 50 days starting from the first Sunday of July, so the period covers the summer holidays neatly from beginning to end. The venue is Kitano Fureai Park in Kiyota Ward, Sapporo, and because the splash pond is shallow, even little ones can put their feet in and play within their parents' sight. Admission is free, and it stays open from morning to evening, so you can choose hours that fit your family's plans. In the morning, head for the Hiraoka Arboriculture Center, the pride of Kiyota Ward. Its garden of carefully clipped yew trees has the stillness of a Japanese garden, and in summer the green tunnels cast cool shade. Have lunch at AEON MALL Sapporo Hiraoka, and pick up anything you still need for the water play while you are there. In the afternoon, return to Kitano Fureai Park, change into swimwear and play in the spray until evening. Opening may change because of weather or cleaning, so check the City of Sapporo's information before you set out.
