Toshima Kids Park, Urban park in Higashi-Ikebukuro, Japan.
Toshima Kids Park is a modern play facility in Higashi-Ikebukuro with multiple designated play zones and green spaces for children. The grounds include climbing structures, open areas, and activity spaces designed within an urban setting in Tokyo.
The facility opened in September 2020, introducing a new recreation option for the Higashi-Ikebukuro area. Its creation reflected efforts to expand child-friendly spaces in this Tokyo neighborhood.
The designer Eiji Mitooka incorporated red elements throughout the space, creating visual links to the local transportation system. These design choices give the place a distinctive identity that connects it to the surrounding neighborhood.
The grounds operate with hourly visit slots to manage visitor capacity and ensure access for everyone. It helps to check online ahead of time for available visiting windows, and wear comfortable clothes and shoes suitable for active play.
A small steam train circles through miniature houses and an elevated observation area. This ride-through feature makes the visit memorable for many children who enjoy the novelty.
