Shintoshi No. 3 Park (Shimanami Oka-no-shita Park) Water Play Area
About this spot
The Shintoshi No. 3 Park (Shimanami Oka-no-shita Park) Water Play Area is a water play spot in a park developed in the Imabari Shintoshi area of Agata, Imabari City. Water runs through a newly built channel, and you can follow the flow or scoop it up with your hands. It is not a place for swimming like a pool, but a type of water play area that combines shallow water with open space. Use is free, and there is open ground around it, so you can get out of the water and take a break. Official Imabari City information states that this year the water play period runs until Monday, August 31, while the start date has not been announced. Check the official Imabari City page for the period and the situation on the day before you set out.
Tips
Imabari City information clearly warns that the channel is slippery. Do not let children go barefoot or in beach sandals; make sure they wear non-slip water shoes. This is not a facility with changing rooms or showers, so go in clothes that can get wet, or be ready to change in the car. Small children should wear swim diapers. Shade is limited, so do not forget sunscreen, a hat and frequent drinks. Stop immediately if you hear thunder, and take your rubbish home with you.
Best time to visit
About 2 hours. In the afternoon, as the sunlight softens, the sparkle on the water is lovely
