The dinosaur statues are built to be climbable, allowing children to physically interact with the sculptures.
The park is situated within Odaka Ryokuchi, which covers approximately 100 hectares of hilly woodland.
The centerpiece Tyrannosaurus Rex is designed with a slide integrated into its tail or body structure.
The site specifically caters to dinosaur-themed play, distinguishing it from standard Japanese municipal playgrounds.
Dinosaur Park (Kyoryu Hiroba) is a themed playground located within the extensive Odaka Ryokuchi Park in Nagoya. The site is characterized by several large, colorful dinosaur statues that function as climbing structures and slides for children. The park features a life-sized Tyrannosaurus Rex as its central attraction, surrounded by other prehistoric models including Brachiosaurus and Pteranodon sculptures. The facility is designed primarily for younger visitors and includes sandboxes and traditional playground equipment alongside the dinosaur-themed elements. The area is integrated into a larger municipal park that offers forest paths and open green spaces.

Bring a towel and change of clothes, as children often spend significant time playing in the sand and on the slides.
Use insect repellent, especially during warmer months, due to the surrounding dense vegetation and wooded environment.
Visit on a weekday to avoid high congestion, as the playground is a popular weekend destination for local families.
Avoid visiting during heavy rain, as the play surfaces become slippery and the sand areas turn into mud.
The park is generally accessible throughout the year, but may close individual sections for routine maintenance or severe weather warnings.
Please supervise small children closely on the slides; keep the play area free of trash and follow posted signage regarding playground equipment usage.
