“Okazaki City South Park” where parents and children can have fun while learning about traffic rules

while learning traffic rules
Let's play in "Traffic Square"!

"Traffic Plaza" where classrooms are held for children attending elementary schools in the city. There are traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, traffic signs, etc. in the miniature city area, and you can learn traffic rules and manners on go-karts and bicycles.

Also, bicycles and tricycles can be rented for free, making it the perfect place to practice! It is a popular spot for parents and children not only as a playground but also as a place for traffic safety education.

*On days when traffic classes are held, the morning is reserved and cannot be used.

Traffic square information desk. There is also a rest area on the second floor.

The nursing room on the first floor of the information center is spacious and spacious.

Let's challenge the driving experience with "go-kart" while confirming safety!

The most popular "go-kart" in Kotsu Hiroba has a one-seater that can be ridden by children from the third grade of elementary school, and a two-seater that can be ridden by parents and children with a small child. Please note that neither go-kart can be ridden by adults alone.

On this day as well, a traffic class was held in the morning for local elementary school students.

The one-seater go-kart on the right and the two-seater go-kart on the left.

You will actually ride a go-kart on a traffic course that looks like a real city with slightly smaller traffic signs and traffic lights.

Popular with small children because you can operate it yourself! "battery car"

There are cows, a fire engine, and a space shuttle battery car, and even children can operate them, so it is recommended for families! Don't forget to bring cash as it's coin operated. (50 yen once)

Nice rental free rides too

Tricycles, bicycles and step go-karts are free. (Elementary school students and younger)

Not only for practice, but there are various sizes of bicycles, so you can actually ride and check the size when choosing a bicycle for the first time.

A dinosaur object in the center of the traffic square.

The pedestrian bridge in the shape of a train that overlooks the plaza is unique as it also doubles as a slide.

Fire trucks, steam locomotives, and the magnetic levitation linear motor car HSST developed in Japan are also on display.

You can actually enter the inside of the Meitetsu 401 train, the first articulated car in the history of Meitetsu.

You can doodle to your heart's content! "Drawing game event"

On the second Saturday of every month, there is also a free-to-attend “drawing play” where you can scribble on the ground with chalk. The venue is usually on the road between the playground and the public pool.

To the forest of wild birds full of green

Cross the bridge over the pond to the forest of wild birds. You can also feed the koi in the pond with food (100 yen) sold at the shop.

A jogging track in the forest. Refresh your body and mind once you step in!

Countless acorns everywhere. Many people visit to collect insects such as rhinoceros beetles in the summer.

Borrow binoculars (free of charge) at the information center and enjoy bird watching.

At the "Plum Festival" held every February, the plum grove is crowded with stalls.

Tents can be used anywhere in the park except for passages. You can rent a tent (100 yen for a fee), so you can enjoy a picnic empty-handed.

The public pool, which is open only in the summer, will be canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the influence of Corona. Undecided.

Despite being a weekday, there were many people who enjoyed playing at the "Tennis Court".

A free "baseball field" that can be reserved and used. Lighting can be used at night (for a fee).

A smoking area located right next to the "baseball field". It seems that there is a little distance from the "amusement park" and "traffic square".

There are plenty of free parking lots for 280 cars.

Everyone keep coming! The original character Minadon is also waiting for you!

On weekdays, the rides are suspended from 12:00 to 13:00, and the park closes at 5:00 pm from April to September, and until 4:00 pm from October to March. Go out!
