Tamba Nature Sports Park Children's Plaza

Flow of the course

About this spot

The Children's Plaza at Kyoto Prefectural Tamba Nature Sports Park has a 45 m giant slide, an underground maze and a combination play structure. The long slide, which follows the natural slope, looks thrilling from the top and is popular enough that children queue up again and again. The underground maze is built as an exploration of dim passages, making it a cool place to play away from the sun outside. Because the equipment is gathered within a 30,000 m² lawn, parents can keep an eye on everything from the open grass. Getting your body moving here before the water means the pond feels all the better when you step in.

Tips

The slide can pick up speed depending on how you ride, so agreeing on the order and the sitting position beforehand is safer. Much of the equipment stands in the sun and its surface can get hot in summer, so touch it to check before letting children play. The park is open 9:00-17:00 and closed from 12/29 to 1/3. Admission is free; only the family pool costs extra.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. Getting your body moving before the water makes the afternoon play even more fun.
