池子の森自然公園 Ikego no Mori park

===== English follows Japanese =====

お気に入りの場所。

広い空、吹き抜ける風。 

ゆっくり過ごす前提で、お弁当、コーヒー、おやつを持って。

歩きだったら、ビールやワインもいいですね。

きれいな虫や花を探したり、ひたすら駆け回ってみたり、

凧あげ、ボール遊び、フリスビー…などなど。

遊具は置いていないけれど、工夫次第で色々な楽しみ方ができます。

お手洗いのついでに、ハイキングコースに寄るのもおすすめ。

昔このあたりが海底だったことがわかる、シロウリガイの化石が展示されています。

また、親切なパークレンジャーさんが常駐しているので、

公園内だけでなく、街で見かけた虫や鳥について教えてもらったり。

複雑な歴史を背景に、貴重な自然が残されているエリアです。

外部の生き物・植物は持ち込まない＆持ち出さないという、最低限のルールは守りましょう。

開園日時：土・日・祝　8:45～17:00

Ikego no Mori park, my favorite place in Zushi.

Open sky and nice breeze.

Let's bring a lunchbox, coffee and snack so that you can enjoy yourself without worrying about time. You may feel like having beer or wine if you don't drive afterwards.

Although there is no playground equipment, there are a plenty of ideas to have fun. Looking for beautiful insects and flowers, running around, flying a kite, playing with a ball and throwing a frisbee, etc.

It would be also fun to have a little hike starting from the path in front of the washroom. You may be surprised to find a giant rock with fossil Calyptogena, which tells that this area used to be under the sea in ancient times.

Also, the park rangers are friendly and lovely. They know a lot about plants, birds, insects and all that, and they are willing to answer your questions.

Ikego no Mori park is a protected natural park due to the complex history.

Don't forget the basic rule; not to bring plants and insects from outside of the park as well as not to take anything away from the park.

Open: Saturday, Sunday and national holidays

8:45am-5:00pm
