Okinawa Kids Playground

 You never realise playground can be so much fun until you have kids. Back in the days, our playground is plain slides, swing, see saw and repeat. This is our third time in Okinawa, first in 2016 when Nana is 1yo; then 2019 when she’s 3.5yo and Dayday 2yo where we never visit any playground. Now, a year later, they are at the age where they’ll enjoy playground more. Okinawa is famous not only for the blue hole diving or fireworks at beach, they’re one of the most family-friendly holiday destination ! Japan is overall family friendly, but Okinawa is even better with over 200 kids park & playground.  


🌳Sakura No Mori Forest Park is located right between the moutains of Yaedake. The park is well maintained with lots of free parking lots, vending machines, restrooms, picnic pavilions and most importantly, playground equipments for kids all age. When there’s slide, there’s laughter. When there’s grass, it always ends with bubbles.

🌳Inami Park is right on our way to American village from Motobu. It’s just a neighbourhood playground but absolutely fun for kids. Restrooms, vending machines and parking lots are equipped. The swings are in pocket shape, slide is excited even for us adult.

🌳Nakagusuku Trampoline Park, they say it’s the biggest in Okinawa. They’re right! The cloud look alike trampoline kept my kids busy for over an hour. Then the slides, sandpits and other playground equipments, not forgetting the huge spaces of grass for picnics, playing fetch or simply running around. And of course , the park has restrooms, vending machines and parking lots.

🌳Peace Memorial Park at the south of Okinawa is one of our favourite! It is big with different areas; the nets, trampolines, climb and slides, obstacles challenges. Kids could jump at the trampolines happily, master their climbing skills. The slides are long and because it’s quite high up, say about 2-3 storey height, so it slides faster than the usuals. And there are obstacles to keep your brain working while practice balancing 😌  .

🌳Gukusu Road Park in Nanjo City is lovely! It is our playground in Okinawa. We love how they have all kind of equipment; the wiggling bridges, the nets for climbing, the slope with rope, balancing bridge and of course the slides and swings! It’s definitely where kids play and grow better, physically and mentally.

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors.  However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep;  1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses  2. Stock up your backpack.  Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...

The old school playground - Holiday Farm

Proclaim: I am not advertising for them, I am not paid to do this. This is just my review, my sharing, my experience.  Note: Mask on face at all time! Even when we are doing activities. Be safe, and don’t give a reason for these facilities to be forced to close too.  Holiday farm is a family run, educational and interactive farm situated in Sheung Shui. It promotes green culture and environmental friendly lifestyle hence being there do make you feel closer to the nature; especially with their originality on play equipments. Last holiday, we took kids to Holiday Farm. Honestly, it’s an exciting place to be, we have a wonderful day, from 10 to 5pm 👍 Kids love everything they saw! The treehouse slides, the horses riding made with recycled materials, the barrel slides, the “carpets” slides, each of these gave so much fun and create unforgettable memories.  The activities are divided into 2 categories, the generals (include botanic gardens, boat through the pond, rickshaw, gr...

Well, almost every single one except the mud pit which got them in a little bit of a sticky situation. There are moments which I’d love not to forget, moments that my kids made me so proud of myself as a mother 😂  We joint the open category for age 4 to 6, which K is 6y2m and D is 4y8m.
