Okinawa Comprehensive Park

We try to make the most of our weekends as a family here in Okinawa. We've found another favorite spot, the Comprehensive Park. It's the largest park in Okinawa that offers a lot of family activities. The park has three or four playground, all different and fun. You can rent bikes or bring your own for the biking trails.



You can also rent paddle boats to float around the pond in. Kids can feed the carp in the ponds or the birds on the shore. The park is also on the water, (imagine that for island living) so people can comb the beach while visiting the park.

I've noticed tent spots and people with tents set up over a weekend, I'm guessing you can rent a spot for overnight stays. The park is so large that you could get lost! I believe it even has a little history/children's museum? It's hard to tell what certain buildings are due to everything being in Japanese! You can also buy snacks and drinks from a little shop. There are several ballfields as well as a circular bike track that looks more like a centrifuge or funnel?! I guess they have races here.


It has a large water park that we hope to visit in the summer once it opens. The park is pretty packed on Sunday afternoons, but a fun place to visit. We'll be frequenting this place.
