The Hokkaido University Play Park Executive Committee will hold the "Hokkaido University Play Park" on Sunday, October 18th, as part of the Children's Book Forest Sapporo/Hokkaido University x Hokkaido University Learning Program.
This event originated from a social experiment on land use conducted on the Hokkaido University campus in 2024, and from related projects of the Japan Adventure Playground Association National Forum.
This year, we will again be conducting this project as a social experiment for utilizing the site and as an initiative to promote and raise awareness of play parks.
It's not just a playground, but a place for everyone who comes here
"How can we make it interesting?"
"I'd like to try something like this, but do you think I can do it?"
This is a playground where children take the lead in creating it, while considering things like, "Is it safe?"
There is no participation fee or prior registration required. We sincerely look forward to your participation.
