Even though we don't have kids (yet), my girlfriends and I like to go out and explore the island once in a while to try out new parks, restaurants, beaches, shopping spots, etc. But I have to say that the parks in Okinawa are a lot of fun, even for the grown ups too! They have a countless number of "rollerslide" parks here with little picnic areas, paths, etc. Lots of fun, but next time we'll definitely have to bring a piece of cardboard with us because your bum feels like it's on fire after you finish sliding down, haha! If you squat down and hold your knees and go down using your feet, it solves the problem, but adds a lot of speed :) This picture is from Tobaru Koen Park, one of the largest rollerslides on the island.
These last few pictures were taken at a park/community center just a few blocks from our house. The rollerslide is smaller, but there are a lot of walking paths and picnic areas here. Nice place to relax, take a jog, or watch the cute Okinawa elderly play "gateball" a croquet like game that is common here.

Big kid slides! That's awesome. And no one says that you can't go to parks without kids. :)
I'll take Schan next time... he's like a big kid, haha ;)
