Kyoei Park Wading Pool (共栄公園 徒渉池)

About this spot

The Kyoei Park Wading Pool (共栄公園 徒渉池) is a shallow water play area that opens in Kyoei Park in Asahikawa City for the summer only. In 2026 it is open from Monday, June 1 to Monday, August 31, from 10:00 to 17:00, and use is free. The water is shallow, so even children who have only just started walking can stand and move around on their own two feet — reassuring for parents. Unlike a pool there are no changeovers or waiting turns, so you can get in when you want to play and rest in the shade when you are tired, keeping to a child's own rhythm. Local children gather here, so starting to play with someone you met that very day is another experience unique to a park wading pool. Hokkaido summers cool off quickly once the sun goes down, so just keep an eye on body temperature after everyone gets out.

Season & hours

Tips

Opening hours are 10:00 to 17:00. It may close due to bad weather, cleaning or water quality management, so check Asahikawa City's information for that day before you leave. Assume there are no changing rooms, so wear swimwear underneath or bring a wrap towel or similar so you can change. Shade is limited, so a picnic sheet and a hat make resting easier. Always bring a light layer to put on afterwards, even in a Hokkaido summer.

Best time to visit

Getting in at 14:20 lets you play until the sun softens and enjoy it fully right up to the 17:00 closing
