It looks like the large playground equipment at Kawarabayashi Park is going to be renewed.

There was a sign in the park↓

They had apparently been collecting survey responses until December 23, asking people to choose from three plans: A, B, and C.We missed the voting deadline… 😢
The results will be announced in mid-January〜!

Here’s what the playground equipment survey looked like

By the way, each plan looked like this↓

Plan A

This one seems close to the current combined playground equipment, with a “long slider” and jungle gym combined, maybe〜?
But this slide has an intriguing phrase: “A whole new kind of slide! Try this thrilling sliding experience!”!!
Could it possibly be like that terrifying(fun) slide that used to be at Araki no Mori Park!?
We’re curious〜 lol

Plan B

This one features a long, straight slide!
The thing to watch is the play equipment in the photo near the bottom called the “Railway”! It’s that thing where you hang on and zip across with a whoosh!!
It has lots of athletic-style elements, so it might be the biggest hit with kids〜!!


Plan C

This one has lots of tube slides, including a winding “Tube Slider Spiral,” and the colorful equipment is really cute!
At first glance, doesn’t this one seem like it’ll be the most popular〜🙄!?(Just our prediction)

Did any of you vote in this survey〜🙋?
The deadline has long since passed, but should we make a Nishitsu prediction for the results? lol↓
(It’s fine that we missed the vote 😔 The best plan is the one chosen by the neighborhood kids who use it all the time! We’re not bitter! lol)

Kawarabayashi Park Combined Playground Equipment


This is the current combined playground equipment!
It’s huge and really impressive〜!


When my child was around 3, they climbed up that U-shaped loop-like jungle gym thing and couldn’t get back down, so I had to go all out to rescue them… 😅
It’s great equipment for playing with your whole body, but it’s a little difficult for small children😓

By the way, it seems the construction schedule had been posted on the bulletin board during the survey period.
The playground renewal construction period appears to be from November 2023 to around March 2024, and it looks like kids will be able to play on the new equipment from around April 2024.

What Kawarabayashi Park is like


When you think of Kawarabayashi Park, you think of its famous roses!!


It’s not rose season right now, but when they’re in full bloom in May, it’s absolutely beautiful✨

It’s spacious and feels great for a walk♪


It looks like the swings will remain as they are!


What is this place that looks like ruins🤔!? The remains of a fountain??
Kids surprisingly like play areas that don’t have a fixed purpose, don’t they… lol


On the south side of Kawarabayashi Park is the large sports ground, “Shonen Sports Park.”
On weekends, kids on youth baseball teams are working hard at practice and games〜👏

Here’s the map for Kawarabayashi Park↓

The address is 3-7 Kamikoshien, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Lastly

The results will be announced in mid-January!
Nishitsu will also let you know, but the latest information will probably be posted on the city website’s “Parks and Green Spaces” page〜! →here
Look forward to it〜🤗
