Chansey Park — Attraction in Namie

『道の駅 なみえ』の敷地内にある、ポケモンの造形の遊具がある公園です。『ラッキー公園』とあるように、大きなラッキーの複合遊具が目印で、他にも、主にピンク色の体のポケモンを遊具にした遊び場が点在します。近隣の住宅の子供だけでなく、全国から家族連れが訪れています。 一方で、公園の広さは住宅街に点在する公園程度であるため、子供たちが遊びまわるような広さではありません。各遊具も、主に未就学児～小学校低学年向けに作られているように見受けられます。公園の周囲に囲い等は無いため、ボールでの遊びはやめた方がいいでしょう。公園北の川にボールが落ちると回収できない可能性もあります。 一つ一つの遊具が写真映えするため、子供が遊んでいる姿を写真に収めている親御さんを多く見かけました。『道の駅 なみえ』に立ち寄った旅の思い出に丁度いいかもしれません。

The park attracts not only children from nearby houses but also families from all over the country. On the other hand, the parks are not large enough for children to play around in, as they are about the size of parks scattered around residential areas. The playground equipment seems to be designed mainly for preschoolers to early elementary school students. There are no fences around the park, so it is best not to play with balls. If a ball falls into the river north of the park, it may not be recovered. I saw many parents taking pictures of their children playing, as each piece of playground equipment is very photogenic. This is a great way to remember your trip to "Roadside...
