    Osaka Minoo-shi Saito Ao Kita 2

    公園に着くまではずっと上り坂で疲れますが、公園からの景色はとてもきれいです。大阪平野の北の端から南側を望む格好になるので、箕面市や吹田市、豊中市、遠くには大阪市のビル群やあべのハルカスもかすかに見えます。日没は残念ながら見えませんが、周りも静かできれいな住宅街なので景色を見て落ち着くにはいいところです。

    とにかく広い公園。施設があちこちに点在していますが、それを除くとほとんどが原っぱなので、なにより開放感があります。休日にのんびりくつろぐにはよさそうですね。ただ日蔭の得られる場所が限られるので、夏の炎天下に歩き回るのはかなりつらいかも。
