Nagayama Memorial Park Water Play Area (永山記念公園)

About this spot

The Nagayama Memorial Park Water Play Area is a free water play spot in Nagayama Memorial Park in Chuo Ward, Sapporo. In 2026 it is open from Monday, June 29 to Sunday, August 30, from 10:00 to 16:00. Because it is a shallow water play area, even children who have only just started walking can play from the point of simply dipping their feet in. A historic residence still stands in the park and there is greenery too, so adults can rest in the shade while keeping a relaxed eye on them. It is within walking distance of a subway station and close to the city center, so it is easy to set out on the day you think of it, which is the appeal of a water play spot in Chuo Ward. Shopping and meals are all within walking distance, so you can leave home with less to carry.

Season & hours

Tips

Operation of the water play area can change with the weather, so check the conditions for the day before setting out. To avoid cuts underfoot, having children wear water play sandals gives peace of mind. Changing spaces are limited, so a towel or poncho that can be thrown over the shoulders is handy. It closes at 16:00, so starting to pack up at 3:30 p.m. leaves plenty of time to get home.

Best time to visit

Arrive a little after 2:00 p.m. and you can play for close to two hours as the sunlight softens.
