Hikarigaoka Park
光が丘公園
Hikarigaoka · near Hikarigaoka Station (Toei Oedo Line) (8 min walk)
One of Nerima's largest parks (about 60 ha with Itabashi), with a substantial children's play zone, seasonal water play, wide lawns and a bookable barbecue field. A strong free option in the northwest of the cluster.
Why children love it: A big wooden-adventure playground, summer stream/water-play, a 60,000 m² lawn to run wild on, and a family BBQ area — an easy full day out on the Oedo Line.
