About this spot

This spacious Tokyo metropolitan park in Akiruno City is popular for its open lawn plaza and playground area. With plenty of shaded benches, it's just the right size for lightly moving your body and playing before entering the pool. The grounds offer good visibility, making it easy for adults to rest while letting small children play — a real appeal. It's not overly crowded, making it an easy waypoint to stop by in the morning before heading to the pool at noon.

Tips

There are times when the playground area has little shade, so a hat or parasol is reassuring to have. Restrooms and drinking fountains are also available, making it convenient as a place to get ready before entering the pool. Wrapping up in about an hour without staying too long will help you enjoy the pool that afternoon with energy to spare.
