Plaza of Light and Wind
About this spot
This is a large grassy plaza spreading across the center of the Forest and Plaza of the 21st Century. As the name suggests, the breeze passes through well, and if you choose a shady spot it is surprisingly comfortable even in midsummer. Water springs up at the edge of this plaza and flows as a small stream down to Sendabori Pond (千駄堀池), so it is also interesting that you can see with your own eyes where the afternoon's water begins. It is just the right time to spread a picnic sheet, eat lunch, and rest up for the afternoon water play. Whether the shop is open varies by day, so preparing your lunch and drinks in advance is the sure way to go.
Season & hours
Name: 21世紀の森と広場 水とこかげの広場
Date & time: 開設期間は未発表 (例年は夏休み期間)
Venue: 松戸市・21世紀の森と広場
松戸市の21世紀の森と広場にある、無料の水遊び場「21世紀の森と広場 水とこかげの広場」です。光と風の広場のフチから湧き出た水が小川となって千駄堀池へ流れていく構造で、上流から下流へと流れをたどりながら遊べます。橋の下が日陰になっているので、暑い日でも涼しい場所を見つけやすいのが家族連れにはありがたいところ。入園は無料です。公式に水遊びの開設期間の記載はないため、出かける前に管理事務所(047-345-8900)へ確認してください。開設期間は未発表で、例年は夏休み期間の開放となっています。
Tips
開設期間が未発表なので、必ず事前に管理事務所(047-345-8900)へ確認してから出かけてください。石の上を歩く場面があるため、脱げにくいマリンシューズがあると安心です。流れに沿って子どもが先へ進みやすいので、待ち合わせの場所を先に決めておきましょう。更衣室は期待せず、着替えはトイレか日陰で済ませる準備をしておくと慌てません。
Tips
Shady spots tend to fill up before noon, so arrive early and secure a place under a tree. The lawn gets muddy after rain, so a ground sheet you do not mind getting dirty is reassuring. Rather than getting into the water right after eating, resting a while before moving on is easier on the body. Checking where the restrooms are in advance makes the afternoon smoother.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour. You can spend the strongest sun just after noon in the shade
