A freestyle park called HAPPO PARKS NATURES opened at Happo-One for the 2025-2026 season. It is built for snowboarders and skiers, with jumps, banks, and jib features.
The park has lines for different levels, so park beginners can also enjoy it. This season the resort also added a smaller mini park in the Sakihana area.
