Ookura Pool

Otherwise known as 'the pool in Kinuta Park', this little-known splash spot is more suited to families with kids. Whirlpools and ageing water slides are very much the order of the day, though the main feature is the large burbling river (man made) which gently propels bathers in never ending, lengthy circles. This facility also benefits from one key natural feature: the trees from the surrounding parkland provide natural shade should the sun's rays come on a bit strong.
