Shinkotoni Niban-dori Park (新琴似二番通公園) Water Play Area (Water Slide)

About this spot

The Shinkotoni Niban-dori Park Water Play Area (Water Slide) is a free water play spot inside Shinkotoni Niban-dori Park (新琴似二番通公園) in Kita-ku, Sapporo. In 2026 it is open from Sunday, July 5 to Sunday, August 23, from 9:00 to 16:00. It is equipped with a two-lane water slide, and there are not many free parks where you can slide like this. Besides the slide there is also a shallow water play area, so little ones who are still afraid to slide can begin by dipping their feet in. Since visitors are mainly families from the neighborhood, long queues like those at a large leisure facility are unlikely, which is another plus. You can set your own rhythm of sliding, resting, and sliding again.

Season & hours

Tips

The period and the opening may shift depending on weather conditions, so check the situation on the day before you set out. Take turns on the slide and follow the on-site rules. You can scrape your elbows and knees while sliding, so a rash guard and adhesive bandages give peace of mind. Changing spaces are limited, so a towel or poncho you can throw on over your clothes is handy. It closes at 16:00, so start packing up by 15:30.

Best time to visit

Arrive at 13:40 and you can spend more than two hours until evening focused on the slides.
