Actually, I went to nearby Yōkai Elementary School, and I used to climb on this all the time when I played.
I’d personally love to know what exactly this playground equipment was modeled after!

By the way, Traffic Park currently has red cones and barriers set up, almost like a construction site.

The department store and police station have definitely been around for a while.
Actually, the park is currently being remade with the help of students from Otemae University.

Here are the “flower shop,” “fruit shop,” and “cafe” after their makeover✨
The park suddenly looks so much brighter!

“Curry shop,” “hospital,” and “stationery shop”
They’re all bright and adorable♪

The “post office.” The hole that makes you want to crawl right through is the entrance♪
You can see other completed makeovers here.

The “music hall” is currently in progress.
So the red cones and barriers were there to protect the children from the paint＾＾

Many other pieces of playground equipment throughout the park are also in the middle of getting a fresh coat of paint!

Details are here↑
Apparently, the “barber shop” will be remade into a “pizza shop,” the “theater” into “Koshien Stadium,” and the “company” into a “hair salon”!

Traffic Park is here on the map↓

The address is 9-20 Kubocho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Finally

The nostalgic old-style Shinkansen at Traffic Park was my favorite playground equipment when I was a kid.

This photo is from about 25 years ago.（That weird-looking kid in the upper left is me）
The blue of the Shinkansen was much brighter than it is now!When a park has colorful playground equipment, it feels brighter, and there are more smiles on children’s faces＾＾
To everyone at Otemae University, thank you for working so hard for the children, even during such a difficult time.
