Shinjuku Chūō Park

Great park for kids and adults alike. The water splash/play area is great for toddlers under 5, but swimsuit is required for full immersion in the pool. The children’s playground has a variety of well maintained swings, and the concrete slides are quite tall and fun.

I would like to thank the person who designed the amazing beware of the crow sign for the park. It gives Hitchcock birds vibe with a touch of A Clockwork Orange, the crow is judging you and you know you better behave because they can do damage. And not only physical ones.

A nice place to have a relaxing walk family walk. There are coffee places(etc:Starbucks), you could sit down and let your kids run around at the green field. On another side, about 10mins short walk, a playground that my kid had spent 1.30hr playing slides and chasing with other local kids.

A nice park in the middle of the big city. Lots of lush landscaping and gardens. many joggers come here in the morning. Plenty of benches to people watch. Just note there are many rules here!

Wicked awesome place for a light picnic with friends. Don’t expect loud and obnoxious drunk tourists. This place located near the rich and powerful, the view of Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building from their is breathtaking.
