The last two times I have been there the parking lot was closed off with cones. Is it because they have a camp there? Is there somewhere else to park?

They've done this at Nara too. Trying to limit the number of people by limiting the number of parking spots

I was there last week and had no trouble parking. I did see cones that blocked off some of the parking spaces, but many space were available for parking. I went around 4:00 in the afternoon.

I have the same question about masks do the kids have to wear them ?

We’re kids and parents all wearing masks? We love this playground but haven’t been in six months...

I’ve run into the same issue. Not sure if anyone knows when they allow people to use the park or not. We have been during the week and it hasn’t been a problem then the next time we go there’s cones across the entrance saying it’s closed. My parents took the kids one day got the kids out of the car for someone to tell them there was a private event and they couldn’t use the playground. Wish they could post when it is available. Any other playgrounds that are close?

Maybe during the weekday but I've never had problems either. I also tend to go later in the day
