"Wait, is this a park!?" The definitive guide to Kansai's free parks: "Incredible Evolution! Park Book Kansai Edition" released with Expo Legacy features.

The season for enjoyable outdoor play in pleasant weather has arrived. However, many people want to avoid far travel or crowded places and prefer not to spend too much money... In such cases, playing at a park is a great option! "Incredible Evolution! Park Book Kansai Edition," a mook introducing 100 free-admission parks that have undergone dramatic evolution in recent years, will be released on Tuesday, April 28.

Latest parks are filled with spaces where children's eyes can sparkle, featuring massive theme-park-like playground equipment, athletics, and professional-grade skateboard parks. Furthermore, they are expanding to include authentic cafes where you can enjoy freshly ground coffee and restaurants. Parks are no longer just "places to stop by briefly" but are being updated from "places managed by local governments" to "hubs for local communities" as "destinations" for weekend outings.

"Wait, is this a park?" This book introduces 100 next-generation parks that have gained popularity in Kansai, categorized by purpose, making you utter such words. Additionally, it features a special project "Let's go find Expo Legacies!" introducing the legacies of the "Osaka/Kansai Expo" remaining in various parts of Kansai. Now, why not open the door to parks that continue to evolve and deepen, and look for a new playground?
