Hanashima Park Keiryuen Stream Garden / Fountain Plaza (花島公園渓流園・噴水広場)

About this spot

This is the free water play area at Hanashima Park (花島公園) in Hanamigawa Ward, Chiba City, the Hanashima Park Keiryuen Stream Garden / Fountain Plaza. There are two parts: the Keiryuen Stream Garden, where a stream about 200 m long runs on from a waterfall, and the Fountain Plaza with its three fountain stones, laid out so you can play while walking from upstream to downstream. Rather than staying in one spot, you can move along chasing the flow of the water, so even children who tire of things quickly can enjoy it for a long time. The opening period has not been announced; in past years it has opened during the summer holidays. The city's official page does not state the operating period either, so check before you set out. The park is surrounded by trees, so there is plenty of shade and you can play with breaks in between, which families appreciate.

Tips

The operating period has not been announced, so always check before you set out. You will often be walking on stones, so water shoes that stay on are reassuring. Because you can move along with the stream, children tend to press on ahead, so decide on a meeting point first. Do not expect changing rooms; being ready to change in a toilet or in the shade will save you from panicking.
