Play and move around at the plaza that serves as the fireworks venue
About this spot
A spacious athletic park in Maesawa that serves as the venue for tonight's fireworks. With well-maintained grounds and playground equipment, it's a perfect space for families to move around and play during the day. From evening onward, the area fills with people watching the fireworks, so it's reassuring to check the atmosphere and surrounding roads while it's still light. The charm of this facility lies in the open lawn where children can run around freely.
