About this spot
Sakaecho Park Wading Pool is a free water-play spot in Nakano Ward's Sakaecho Park. In 2026 it operates from Saturday, July 18 to Monday, August 31, from 10:00 to 16:00, running in two sessions: 10:00-12:00 and 13:00-16:00. The pool covers 50 square meters and is about 30cm deep, a good depth for playing while crouched down, and spacious enough not to feel too crowded even on busy days. The water is tap water, changed daily and managed with chlorine, so children can play with peace of mind about hygiene. It is open until the end of August, which is nice because you can plan a visit even near the end of summer vacation. Admission is free.

Tips
It closes on rainy days and when the water temperature is 22C or below. Check the operating status on Nakano Ward's official website or the on-site signage before you head out. It is closed from 12:00 to 13:00 for the water change. Arriving in time for the 13:00 reopening lets you play the whole afternoon session without waiting. Bodies cool down after getting out of the water, so bringing something to wear over swimsuits is reassuring. Having children wear water shoes helps prevent injuries to their feet.
Best time to visit
Enter right when it reopens at 13:00, and you can play the full 3 hours until closing at 16:00.
