中岛公园

冬季的北海道应该有很多地方都可以玩雪，中岛公园是其中的一个。由于此行有个2岁多的小孩，考量体力各方面因素，因此选择离饭店较近的中岛公园让小朋友体验滑雪的特别经验。公园有免费的滑雪装备可以出借(雪鞋、滑雪板)，服务人员也很亲切的教导装备穿着。但小小孩可以玩的雪盆，则须自备。由于我们是第一次造访，也不曾滑过雪，因此有了这次经验后，下次便知道要如何准备小孩子的东西。公园面积不算小，但人很少。虽然没有专业的教练在旁边指导，但对于初学者来说，是个很适合练习的地方。而且重点是，免费。

这是札幌市民常去休息的地方之一。虽然与薄野欢乐街相邻，附近还林立着大型酒店，不过到了晚上还是有点凄清。公园里有池，可以划小艇，在市内非常少有。一年四季经常举办各种活动，像北海道马拉松、自由市场和园艺市场、札幌祭等。虽然现在的年轻人都不知道过去这里还有中岛球场了，但作为一个休息场所，长年间都备受市民爱戴。公园附近还有两个地铁站，请一定要来看看。

Visited this park in February. It's located just outside the Nakajima koen subway station. Covered with snow everywhere with a few ice and snow sculptures. Good site to play in the snow for kids. The pathways were strewn with sand in some places but was still slippery in certain places. So need to be careful walking on the snow covered path.

This park is gorgeous in winter, all covered in snow. At the South end of the park near the sports centre free ski equipment is available, we had a great time trying our hand at cross country skiing.

This is a wonderful place in winter with the whole park covered in snow. I discovered that you can hire the cross country ski gear for free at the south end of the park. It is enjoyable and fun doing the whole track and it is fun for beginners. The equipment rental is run by the municipal sports centre and is absolutely free and staff are so friendly and helpful.

This park has a small cross country ski course, boots, poles and skis are available free for you to have a go apparently between the months of January to March staff are friendly and helpful

Stumbled upon this park as it was near the hotel that we stayed. A not so big park with maple and gingko trees. There's a couple of ponds in the park and wild ducks can be seen swimming in the ponds. You can also find a smaller closed park within the park which is only open at 8.30am. The park is beautiful in autumn. Saw a few locals taking photos in the park. The park is easily accessible from the nearby hotels.

This large park is located in the back of the Novotel Sapporo hotel just a few blocks away from the bustling Susukino area. Great for relaxing, bird watching and walking/running. There are ponds and a brook flowing through it.

We went here based on positive reviews here and on other sites. Compared to the impressive gardens in Kyoto, Gifu and Tokyo, it was a bit disappointing and actually quite small. The most interesting aspects of it were a statue of Leonard Bernstein (he apparently founded a music festival there) and one of the few shrines in Sapporo at the south end. It is very easy to access via the subway system though and is not really out of the way for people staying in central Sapporo. It is worth a visit if you are into birds (we saw falcons, varied tits and a few other species there easily) or just want a short stroll before visiting one if the beer gardens.

This is a large park with a brook running through it. Lots of black birds and some water fowls living there. It has a closure of traditional garden inside that opens at 8am and closes at night. Good place to visit and relax, about 5 minutes from the nearest subway station.

Great place to chill out away from the noise of the city. Lots of great manicured garden surrounding a central pond. Also includes a concert hall, a museum, an observatory & two shrines.

I knew that Sapporo had a lot of snow in winter, but I expected for the trails in major parks to be cleared. Not the case. I really anticipated taking a walk in that park while my baby was sleeping in a stroller, hoping it would be a beautiful peaceful experience. My stroller is a hard-core jogger that can take any terrain. Except for a japanese park in winter. The trails a really narrow and uneven. The park may be lovely, but I could see most of it, because my stroller kept getting stuck in the snow. There aren't enough signs showing which way to go, so I kept guessing my way out just to get back to a wider path. It felt like a struggle, not a peaceful walk. I'm sure this place must be great in other seasons, but in winter it's just full of snow. There's nothing else. I wouldn't go there again even without a stroller. And I wish they would make those pathways wider, at least enough to fit a stroller or a wheelchair.

I loved this park when we traveled to Sapporo in November. It was such a nice,peaceful park. We visited when it was snowing and it was a very beautiful landscape.

A very pleasant place to meander, sit and read. Take a look at the very modern Sapporo Concert Hall and the very old and large white and blue wooden building nearby (purpose unknown).

This garden was near our hotel .The Japanese garden inside is beautiful.It is possible to have a boat on the lake or just sit back and relax on a bench
