- Hours
- According to KTO tourism data: daytime March–October 09:00–18:00; November–February 09:00–17:00. Night-opening March–October 20:00–23:00; November–February 18:00–22:00. Last entry is one hour before each closing time; selected routes only at night. Closed Mondays (next day if Monday is a public holiday). Parking is free. Confirm temporary closures, weather restrictions and whether night operations are in effect with the city before travelling.
From November, KTO's winter timetable distinguishes daytime visiting from the limited evening-opening route. Temporary closures or changes announced by the city were not independently confirmed.
Why go
Walk among native red pines and seasonal planting areas. The KTO accessible-tourism guide describes accessible parking, some deck and ramp routes, toilets and wheelchair charging, but the forest terrain is hilly: this does not mean all trails are barrier-free. Consider weather, daylight and the limited night-trail area.
