Flow of the course

About this spot

Furuichiba Park Swimming Pool (古市場公園水泳プール) is an outdoor pool within the Furuichiba Park Sports Facility (古市場公園スポーツ施設) in Midori Ward, Chiba City. In 2026 it is open from Saturday, July 18 to Sunday, August 23, and features a 25m x 15m, seven-lane pool with a depth of 1.1-1.4m, along with a 0.3m-deep wading pool. With seven lanes, the pool rarely gets crowded, so kids who want to practice swimming can progress at their own pace. Since the wading pool is only about knee-deep, even little ones trying the water for the first time can enjoy it safely alongside their guardians. It's located within a corner of the sports facility with well-maintained parking, making it convenient to visit by car. Though close to the city center, the surroundings are lush with greenery, allowing you to swim in an open, spacious setting.

Season & hours

Tips

Fees and opening hours vary by year, so be sure to check the facility's official information in advance. As this is an outdoor pool, it may close suddenly due to a thunderstorm warning or bad weather. Shade is limited, so a leisure sheet and a hat are essential. Rather than relying on there being a shop, it's reassuring to bring your own drinks and snacks. The wading pool requires a guardian to accompany children, so please keep a close eye on little ones at all times.

Best time to visit

About 3 hours 10 minutes. The afternoon sun softens, letting you play comfortably until evening.
