Komaba Sports Park (駒場運動公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A sports park in Komaba, Urawa-ku, Saitama City, and one of the symbols of Urawa as a football town. The grounds have groves and green spaces, and if you spread a picnic sheet in the shade it becomes a breezy, pleasant spot for lunch. It is right next to the Saitama City Youth Space Science Museum, so there is no strain in getting there and you can take a break before the children tire out, which is a real help. Settling down here once before the afternoon water play keeps everyone's energy going longer. Even just looking at the exterior of the stadium on a stroll is a special experience for a child who loves football.

Tips

The area can get crowded on days when matches or tournaments are held, so checking the schedule is reassuring. Shaded spots are limited, so decide where to sit early. Eating too much makes the afternoon water play hard going, so a light lunch is recommended.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. Midday, when a breeze passes through the shade, is the pleasant time
