# Gunma Kodomo-no-kuni Park

Officially this is Gunma Prefectural Kanayama Park. The play zone has the Adventure Fort, a long zip line and an air-filled bouncing dome. Younger children get a separate area with spring toys and a toddler-sized play structure. The cycle plaza runs a monorail bike, a pedal train and battery cars. A summer bobsleigh and a chairlift work between the hilltop and base stations. The paddling pond opens in summer, and acorns turn up under the oaks in season.
