I actually experiencedFugamaru, and there were a lot of athletes who used their whole bodies, and I worked up a good sweat♪

The play area has slides, swings, and dome-shaped play equipment, and since soccer and baseball are prohibited, it is safe for small children.

What did you think

We have delivered plenty of charm of Chubudai Sports Park.

The last time I used this park was when I was in elementary school, so this interview was my first visit in about 25 years.

There were more play equipment in the park than at that time, and Miekodomonoshiro had evolved into an environment that was easier to play in.

I've put together some points that I think are useful from a parent's perspective, so I hope you find them useful as information for outings with your child.
