Miyabe Memorial Green Space Water-Play Area (宮部記念緑地 水遊び場)

About this spot

The Miyabe Memorial Green Space Water-Play Area (宮部記念緑地 水遊び場) is a free water-play spot in Miyabe Memorial Green Space (宮部記念緑地) in Chuo-ku, Sapporo (札幌市中央区). 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, there is no need to worry about depth, and even a child who has only just started walking can begin by dipping their feet in. Although it is within walking distance of Sapporo Station (札幌駅), it has the calm atmosphere of a place where neighbourhood children play, with no queues or waiting time at all. It is small enough for adults to take in the whole area from a bench in the shade, so it also suits a first experience of water play. The short trip home afterwards is another advantage unique to a green space in the city.

Season & hours

Tips

Operation of the water-play area can change with the weather, so check the day's conditions before you set out. Have children wear water-play sandals so they do not cut their feet. Changing places are limited, so a towel or poncho that can be pulled on over the top is handy. The surrounding area has many homes and offices, so remind everyone to keep quiet nearby. It closes at 16:00, so starting to pack up by 15:30 leaves you time to get home comfortably.

Best time to visit

Arrive at 13:50 and you can make full use of the two hours until closing
