王仁公園, Urban park in Hirakata, Japan
Wani Park is an urban green space covering about 9 hectares with diverse facilities including tennis courts, volleyball courts, and an outdoor swimming pool for summer use. The layout accommodates various sports and recreational activities within a single accessible area.
This space opened in 1971 and takes its name from Dr. Wani, a scholar from ancient Baekje who appears in Japanese historical records. The naming reflects Japan's historical connections with the ancient Korean kingdom.
The park houses a dedicated space for Selp Warashibe, an organization supporting people with disabilities through hands-on activities like caring for horses and tending plants. Visitors can observe how this community integrates meaningful work into the green space.
Three parking areas provide space for 250 vehicles, with the first 30 minutes free and charges applying afterward during operating hours. Arriving early can help you secure a spot and make the most of your visit.
The park operates a horseback riding program where visitors can experience something uncommon in an urban setting. During winter months, organized stargazing events allow guests to observe planets like Saturn through telescopes.
