About the Park
Hello, fellow travelers!
This is Rikotama, writer for Sarukuma!
Today, I’m excited to introduce you to
Oe in Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City‘s very own
Nakagawatsuru Park!

You’ll find this gem along Kogaibashi Street, right near Mama Delica β a wonderful spot we’ve featured on Sarukuma before!
There’s no on-site parking available, so you’ll want to use one of the nearby coin-operated parking lots.

Here are the restrooms.

And here’s the drinking fountain & hand-washing station!

You’ll also find one covered bench for shade or rest!

Swings!

Is that a seesaw?!
It looks like quite a few kids can hop on at once!

Horizontal bars!

A circular monkey bar set!

Round climbing poles!

A 4-person seesaw!

A sandbox and spring rider toys!

Right next to the playground area, there’s also a spacious open field for sports and activities!
Honestly, I was blown away by just how much equipment this little park packs in!
How about grabbing a bento from Mama Delica and enjoying a relaxed picnic lunch at Nakagawatsuru Park? Sounds perfect, doesn’t it?
