About this spot

The 'Prefectural Chikuho Green Park Waterside Plaza (Children's Pool)' (県営筑豊緑地 水辺の広場・幼児プール) at the Prefectural Chikuho Green Park in Iizuka City is a seasonal water play area for young children, set in a relaxing spot overlooking Torio Pond (鳥尾池). During summer vacation, water is drawn in from a mountain stream and it's opened as a children's pool. For 2026, it is expected to run from around Tuesday, July 21 to around Monday, August 31, but the park's official information only states 'during summer vacation' without publishing specific dates. Admission is free. There are combination playground equipment and a lawn plaza nearby, so you can move back and forth between water and land. Since the water is drawn from a mountain stream, it can feel cooler than a tap-water pool, which is part of what makes this spot unique.

Season & hours

Tips

Since the exact dates of the opening period aren't published, it's reliable to check with the park management office (0948-82-1023) before heading out. Because the water comes from a mountain stream, the temperature varies by day. Staying in too long can chill the body, so take breaks while playing. Assume there may be stones or fallen leaves on the bottom, and wear sandals you don't mind getting wet to protect your feet. The indoor and outdoor pools in the same park are paid, so if you plan to use them, check the fees and operating hours separately.

Best time to visit

About 2 hours. The afternoon, when the sunlight softens, is recommended — the breeze crossing the pond feels pleasant.
