Shinnan Park Toddler Pool

About this spot

The Shinnan Park Toddler Pool is a summer-only pool for young children set up in Shinnan Park in Wakayama City. In 2026 it is open from Saturday, July 18 to Wednesday, August 12, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. It is only for children who have not yet started elementary school; elementary students and older cannot use it. A parent or guardian must accompany the child, and swimwear is required. Ordinary disposable diapers and pull-ups are not permitted, so please prepare swim diapers for children who are not yet toilet trained. Admission is free, which makes it welcome that you can take a relaxed approach and wrap up early while watching how your child is doing.

Tips

The pool may be canceled due to rain or other weather conditions. Checking the Wakayama City information and the day's forecast before you leave is reassuring. The park has no parking lot, so use public transport or a nearby paid parking lot. It is often relatively empty right after the 1 p.m. opening, so even children who are not used to water can get in calmly. The sun is strong at this hour, so take frequent breaks in the shade and drink plenty of fluids.
