The city is famous for its beautiful parks and gardens ideal for visiting with kids. One of the most beautiful ones is Hakusan Park. This park has a lot of greenery, many convenient walking paths and bridges, and a pond - one of its main decorations. Many people come here specifically to feed carps and ducks living in the pond. Children will surely like sculptures and fountains installed in the park.
On the shore of the lake is the picturesque Toyanogata Park, which is equally well equipped for families with children. Sakura blossoms in this park in spring, and in summer, vacationers are offered boat rides on the lake. The park has many cozy gazebos, many beautiful flowers and ornamental plants are planted throughout its territory with the arrival of spring. This park is equally great for a relaxing rest and active entertainment. Visitors will find many spacious playgrounds and an excellent football stadium nearby.
In summer, one of the families' favorite spots is Sekiyahama Beach - a large, calm beach where you can comfortably relax even with kids. There are no strong waves on this sandy beach. Many cozy restaurants and cafes serve visitors a few steps from the coast in summer. Some tourists visit the coast during the off-season - due to the abundance of bizarre stone formations, it is very interesting to walk here. It'd be interesting to visit Niigata with children in any season. New entertainment centers open every year in the city.
