Amakusa General Park (天草総合公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A plaza at the heart of Amakusa Park gathering play equipment themed on stars and space. Several large combination playsets shaped around rockets and space imagery stand side by side, combining climbing, crawling and sliding for hours of play. Coming here after touching on the universe at the astronomical museum in the morning suddenly makes the meaning of the equipment's shapes far more interesting — that is the trick built into this course. Benches and tree shade sit around the plaza, so there is no trouble finding a spot to lay out lunch. The Jabujabu Pond is inside this same plaza, so you can switch from equipment to water and back again without going anywhere.

Tips

The equipment can get hot under the midsummer sun, so touch it to check before letting children play. Shade is limited to the stand of trees and the area around the benches, so a picnic sheet or a pop-up tent makes breaks much easier. Entering the water right after eating puts a strain on the body, so moving the body gently on the equipment first and then heading to the Jabujabu Pond sets a comfortable pace. As a rule, take your rubbish home with you.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 30 minutes. Choose a spot in the tree shade and midday is comfortable enough
