Following the announcement earlier this year, the Pokemon Company has opened the Sandshrew Playground Park in Japan’s Tottori Prefecture.

The park is located in the Tottori Sand Dunes Children’s Country theme park, and features a number of playground equipment and statues featuring Sandshrew and its Alolan Variant, as well as other Ground-Type Pokemon.

本日5月5日（金・祝）より、鳥取県の「鳥取砂丘こどもの国」に「サンド公園」が開園！
開園を記念して、新たなポケふたの登場や、『Pokémon GO』と連携した期間限定の取り組みもスタート！
公園内では、「GOスナップショット」などでサンドと出会えるよ。https://t.co/efRU226BBM #PokémonGO pic.twitter.com/Ow2vY3YlsQ

Following its opening, visitors to the park will have a higher chance to encounter Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew while playing Pokemon GO, as well as the opportunity to take AR pictures of them using GO Snapshot. In addition, structures in the park will appear as Pokestops in Pokemon GO, allowing players to get postcards and other items.
