About this spot

An open lawn plaza spreading out inside Misato Park. Since the water play corner starts at exactly 12:00, finishing your boxed lunch here beforehand is the key to this course. Lay a picnic sheet in the shade and it becomes a pleasant, breezy spot for lunch. The park has no changing rooms, so wear swimwear under your clothes or get everything ready for changing during this time. It also works as a place to leave your belongings, so setting up a base here for the duration of the water play makes moving around easier.

Tips

Shaded spots are popular, so having one adult go ahead to claim a place while the others are on the play structure is the sure approach. Eating too much makes water play uncomfortable, so a light lunch is recommended. Once you have finished eating, reapply sunscreen and get ready for the 12:00 start.
