Water play to the fullest until evening at the shallow-stream play area
About this spot
The Children's Paradise Water Play Area (子どもの楽園 親水空間) in Takaragaike Park (宝が池公園) is a water play area you can enjoy for free. In 2026 it is available from Saturday, May 30 to Sunday, September 27, and closed every Friday for cleaning and inspection. It centers on a shallow stream and a water plaza, so even small children who cannot yet swim can safely enjoy the water. It sits in a corner of the lush, green Takaragaike Park with plenty of shade, so you can cool off and rest between bouts of water play, another welcome point. It is a spot popular with families as a place to drop by casually for a local outing.

Tips
Admission is free, but checking Kyoto City's official information in advance for changing facilities and other details is reassuring. It is unavailable on Fridays for cleaning and inspection, so confirm your visit date beforehand. Even though the water is shallow, keep your eyes on children at all times, and laying out a picnic sheet to secure a rest area makes the day more comfortable.
Best time to visit
Entering from around 1 p.m. means the sunlight is steady and you can comfortably enjoy water play until evening
