[Tokoname] Mooovi Tokoname, A Playground Adjacent to Boat Race Tokoname!

“BOAT KIDS PARK Mooovi Tokoname” opened in November 2021 by “Boat Race Tokoname” in collaboration with the playing specialty company “Bornelund” to support the growth of children through physical play.

“Mooovi Tokoname” was created with the aim of making the boat race track a “familiar place” for local people, a place that is fun and makes people want to go every day, and a place where interaction between local families naturally occurs.

This time, we will fully introduce you the charm of "Mooovi Tokoname", which is unique to a company specializing in playing and has a lot of thoroughly devised "playing" mechanisms.

The Most Distinctive Feature are the "Play Leaders"
Who Received Training from Bornelund

Play Leaders are not "instructors," but rather they are there to support the children by watching what they are thinking and what they are trying to do, and by drawing out their desire to try things out. It's like a leader who invites you to play in a group in a natural way and gives you interesting hints on how to play.

They are also child-rearing supporters for moms and dads, helping them to naturally realize new ways of interacting with their children and being there for them to talk to about daily child-rearing issues.
