Cool Off This Summer with Family Fun!

　Surrounded by nature but within city limits, two water spots in Kaohsiung are drawing fun-seeking families this summer. Neiwei Forest Waterway and an indoor facility near Lotus Pond provide families with safe, well-maintained places to play and explore.

　Neiwei Forest Waterway is situated within Neiweipi Cultural Park（內惟埤文化園區）. It is surrounded by cultural and natural attractions such as the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts（高雄市立美術館）, the Children’s Museum of Art（兒童美術館）, and the Neiwei Arts Center（內惟藝術中心）. The area boasts lush green spaces, lakes, and a misty forest, making it a perfect destination for getting closer to both nature and art. It is accessible from Neiwei Arts Center LRT Station, as well as the Museum of Fine Arts and Neiwei railway stations. Its central location makes it a popular spot where families with young children can play in shallow water.

　Tots Land（童游藝境）, located near Lotus Pond, is an indoor facility designed for infants and toddlers. It features a scenic, infinity-style pool for young children, with water temperatures adjusted according to the weather and heated during colder months, ensuring safe use year-round. This indoor facility includes a pool specifically designed for infants and toddlers, providing comfort and safety throughout the year.

　In addition to the pools, the facility offers a wide range of learning and play areas, where children can draw, create crafts, or engage in physical activities, keeping them happily entertained throughout the day.

　　蟬鳴聲聲入耳，盛夏的腳步也隨之來臨。走訪重新開放的內惟森林親水河道，或與家人相約親子戲水館戲水，不必舟車勞頓，就能在城市綠意中尋得沁涼避暑樂園。

　　位於內惟埤文化園區內的森林親水河道，全長約110公尺，每日早上7點至晚間7點供水，如遇強降雨則會暫停供水，以確保安全。隨著氣溫升高，吸引了許多家長帶孩子前來，享受夏日的清涼與愜意。

　　園區占地達43公頃，涵蓋高雄市立美術館、兒童美術館與內惟藝術中心，並擁有綠地、湖泊與迷霧森林等豐富自然景觀，鄰近輕軌「內惟藝術中心」及台鐵「美術館」、「內惟」車站，交通便利，是親近自然與藝術的好去處。

　　除了戶外美景，還可前往室內戲水館「童游藝境」，館內設有景觀無邊際的嬰幼兒泳池，水溫會依天氣調整並設暖氣，即使冬天也能安心玩水。

　　另外，還打造豐富多元的學習與遊戲空間，例如：以《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》為靈感打造的探索空間，水教室、多元教室及運動教室等感官與創意兼具的活動空間，讓孩子快樂放電一整天。
