Lawn Plaza
About this spot
The lawn plaza of Keihanna Commemorative Park is a spacious grassy area stepped like terraced rice fields, free to use as you please. About 300 cherry trees are planted here, so in summer you can choose a shady spot to spread your picnic sheet, which is a real blessing. There is no large dining area in the park, so bringing a packed lunch and eating on the grass is the way to spend lunchtime here. The steps give each spot a sense of being marked off, so you can settle in without being too close to your neighbours. Playground equipment for children is nearby too, so you can move your body lightly after resting and then go into the water.

Date & time: 例年 夏に水遊び可(2026年の通水期間は未公表)9:00–17:00(入園は16:30まで)※年末年始(12/28–1/4)休園

けいはんな記念公園 芝生広場のせせらぎは、棚田状に段の付いた芝生広場沿いを流れる浅瀬です。段差を伝って水が下っていく造りなので、上流から下流へ歩きながら遊べるのが他の水遊び場にはない面白さになっています。深いところがなく、歩き始めたばかりの子でも保護者と一緒に入っていけます。芝生広場の利用は無料で、例年 夏に水遊びができ、2026年の通水期間は未公表です。子ども向けの遊具も近くにあるため、水から上がったあとの居場所に困らないのも家族連れには助かるところです。
Tips
開園は9:00〜17:00(入園は16:30まで)なので、帰りの時間は余裕をもって計画してください。通水の状況は年により変わるため、出発前に公園の案内で確認しておくと空振りを防げます。更衣室の案内は出ていないので、水着は下に着ていくかタオルポンチョを用意すると着替えがスムーズです。芝生の上を濡れた足で歩くと草が付くので、上がったらすぐ拭けるようタオルを近くに置いておきましょう。
Tips
Buying your packed lunch and drinks near Hosono Station or Shin-Hosono Station before you head over is the sure approach. Rubbish must be taken home, so prepare plenty of bags. Some parts of the lawn have little to block the sun, so the trick is to secure a spot in the cherry-tree shade early. Avoid going into the water right after eating; waiting 20 to 30 minutes before changing is safer.
Best time to visit
About 50 minutes. You can let the peak heat just after midday pass in the shade
