2026 Nakanoshima Park Toddler Pool: Full-Day Course

An outing course centred on morning water play at the 「Nakanoshima Park Toddler Pool」, a summer-only pool set up in Nakanoshima Park in Wakayama City. In 2026 it operates from Saturday 18 July to Wednesday 12 August, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Because children can play before the sun gets fierce, it is easy even on little ones. Only pre-school children may use it; elementary school age and above are not admitted. A guardian must accompany the child, and a swimsuit is required. Ordinary disposable diapers and pull-ups are not permitted, so please prepare swim diapers. Admission is free, so you can also wrap things up quickly if your child's mood changes. In the morning you pick out a picture book at the Wakayama Prefectural Library (和歌山県立図書館), then walk the moatside of Wakayama Castle Park (和歌山城公園) for a breather among the greenery before heading to the park. Since you can move straight into lunch after the water play, it is an easy course for planning a relaxed afternoon rest. Operation may be cancelled due to rain or other weather conditions, so checking the forecast before you set out is reassuring.
