About this spot
A spacious comprehensive park representing Sayama City, featuring a children's zoo, botanical garden, and tree-lined walking trails, making it a popular spot for families. At the children's zoo, you can get close to small animals, and at the botanical garden, you can enjoy seasonal flowers and greenery. The park has plenty of shade, making it relatively comfortable even on hot summer days—a true charm. Before the festival, let's start the day surrounded by nature.

2026年8月1日(土)19時30分開催、入間川七夕まつりを締めくくる花火大会です。開けた河川敷の会場から、夜空に約2,000発の花火が30分間続けざまに打ち上がります。視界を遮る建物が少ないため見晴らしがよく、家族連れでも見やすいのが魅力。七夕飾りで彩られた1日の締めくくりにふさわしい、狭山の夏を象徴する光景です。
Tips
荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は主催者の公式発表で確認を。終了直後は狭山市駅方面が大混雑するため、フィナーレ後は少し余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめ。足元が暗い箇所もあるのでスマホのライトで安全に。
Tips
Bus access from Sayama City Station is convenient. Since the park is large, if visiting both the zoo and botanical garden, a relaxed schedule is recommended. Don't forget hydration and sun protection in summer. The next move to Inari-yama Park involves heading back toward the station.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours. Late morning to early afternoon when the sun is less intense is when animals are most active and easier to observe.
