Kasaoka Kodai-no-Oka Sports Park (かさおか古代の丘スポーツ公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A children's plaza inside Kasaoka Kodai-no-Oka Sports Park lined with large dinosaur-themed play equipment. Children get a huge thrill from the fact that the equipment itself is a dinosaur you can play on — scramble up the body of a tall dinosaur, slide down its tail. Coming after a morning walking among burial mounds, the ancient theme carries through and fires the imagination, which is unique to this course. A covered rest area and benches sit beside the plaza, so there is no trouble finding a spot to lay out lunch. The park also has a campground with 13 sites, a baseball field and sports grounds, and the grounds as a whole are laid out on a generous scale.

Tips

Metal parts of the equipment can get hot under the midsummer sun, so touch them to check before letting children play. Shade is limited to the covered rest area and the stand of trees, so a picnic sheet makes breaks much easier. Do not assume there are food outlets in the park — bring your own lunch and drinks. As a rule, take your rubbish home with you. Entering the water right after eating puts a strain on the body, so leaving about 30 minutes before heading to the fountain sets a comfortable pace.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 35 minutes. With the tree shade and covered rest area, midday is manageable
