There are many playground equipment with athletic elements such as Tarzan rope and rock climbing. Everyone was enjoying themselves.

There are three spaces in the upper part of the sandbox where wheelchairs can be placed.

Universal design is adopted for the overall structure of the wooden playground equipment, and 10 types of playground equipment, including this suspension bridge and sandbox, are wheelchair accessible.

"Playhouse" where you can play to your heart's content even in the rain

This white building with a pointed roof is the playhouse. You can play on a rope jungle gym that goes from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor.

Once the children enter, they climb up, down, lie down, and do not come out easily.

They are enthralled and go right back in when they come out. There are stairs and elevators so adults can come and go and watch over them.

There are two types of jungle gyms, and this one is a little smaller.

I wondered how they would play with such a unique piece of playground equipment, but the children were creative, playing hide-and-seek and dangling competitions.
