Funabashi Andersen Park

Funabashi Andersen Park is a municipal park with abundant athletic equipment and large play equipment where seasonal flowers bloom. The park is divided into themed zones such as "Mischievous Kingdom Zone," "Fairy Tale Hill Zone," "Children's Art Museum Zone," "Nature Experience Zone," and "Flower Castle Zone," and attracts not only families but also many young couples and seniors. The Mischievous Kingdom Zone, which is the main area, has a field athletic area, large play equipment, and a petting zoo, where many children are having fun. On holidays, there is a long line waiting for the 13-meter-tall Mischievous Castle's large slide, and children who enjoy the exhilaration of sliding down dynamically create a lively atmosphere. In the large ball net play equipment "Mischievous Ball Island," which covers various colorful balls with a net, children are bouncing happily on top of the balls. It's no wonder that the park is so popular among families, as many facilities can be played for free (or at a low cost) with just the entrance fee.

The Rainbow Pond in the Mischievous Kingdom zone is a popular spot for children to enjoy water play during the summer, with a beautiful rainbow appearing on sunny days. The pond is only about as deep as an adult's knee, so even small children can enjoy it safely with proper supervision. Next to the Rainbow Pond is Archimedes' Fountain, which features a water wheel that can be turned by foot and a lever-operated pump. Children can be seen playing and getting soaked while having fun. Lifeguards are stationed and water quality is monitored during the Golden Week holiday in May and from July to September.

At Funabashi Andersen Park, you can enjoy many flowers and trees throughout the year. There are countless flowers in full bloom here, including winter plum and camellia, spring cherry blossoms and apricots, summer artichokes and begonias, and autumn osmanthus and pomegranates. You can take a leisurely stroll or sit down and sketch, enjoying the seasonal flowers in your own way. On the north side of the park, there is a nature experience zone where you can observe the natural state of wild plants and insects.

The children's art museum area offers a variety of programs that can be enjoyed even on rainy days. The programs change monthly, so you can always look forward to something new and exciting. The exhibition room also regularly holds exhibitions planned by artists. Don't be disappointed by the rain - enjoy yourself to the fullest in the art museum area! *Additional material costs are required for creative programs.
