The water play area runs mid-June to early September and is nowhere deeper than 45 centimeters. In winter the water and the play equipment close, and sled hills and cross-country ski trails take over. The outer path is a flat 3.75 kilometers, and one lap on foot takes 90 minutes to two hours. The Glass Pyramid's first-floor desk lends four strollers; they cannot be reserved and go in order of arrival. - Area: hokkaido_sapporo - Type: park - Time to allow: 1.5–2 h — For one lap of the outer path, about 3.75 km (source: https://moerenumapark.jp/faq/, 2026-08-19) - Hours: The park itself is open 7:00-22:00 all year, but the things inside it are not.
