Operation of Programs on Cooperation and Order at 5 Creative Children's Playgrounds in Yangcheon-gu

Seoul's First Play Activity Expert and Program Enable 'Continuous Program Operation' through 'Consignment Management'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) announced that starting in April, it has become possible to continuously operate programs through the consignment operation of play activity experts and programs at five creative playgrounds in the area, the first among Seoul’s autonomous districts.

The district initiated a pilot consignment model through outsourcing, the first among Seoul’s autonomous districts, to provide children with various play programs that encourage creative play activities and to stably manage professional personnel.

The creative children’s playgrounds where play activity programs are operated include ▲Yangcheon-gu Integrated Playground (Kijit, Sinjeong 6-dong 320) ▲Shinsegae Creative Children’s Playground (Sinjeong 2-dong 119-3) ▲Taeyang Creative Children’s Playground (Sinwol 4-dong 422-1) ▲Sindae Creative Children’s Playground (Sinwol 1-dong 100-1) ▲Haneulmaru Creative Children’s Playground (Sinjeong 3-dong 1316-2), totaling five locations. Currently, the Yangcheon-gu Integrated Playground is under remodeling construction and will begin full program operation after completion.

The play activity programs are operated under various themes such as cooperation, order, senses, emotions, bodyweight exercises, and nature play. They are divided into basic programs, which run regularly twice a week throughout the year (once a week during extreme heat or cold), and specialized programs that operate only on special occasions such as seasonal events, Children’s Day, and Christmas.

The target participants for the play activity programs are infants to children (elementary school students), and they can participate after on-site registration. Program schedules can be checked through banners and notices posted at the playgrounds, the district office website, and official SNS channels such as Facebook.

The district is promoting the core pledge project, the ‘One Neighborhood, One Creative Playground Project,’ and currently has eight creative playgrounds in the area.

Additionally, it plans to establish up to 18 playgrounds this year. However, the program start date may be delayed depending on the COVID-19 spread situation.

A Yangcheon-gu official said, “We hope that by continuously exposing children to creative playground play activity programs, a child-led creative play culture will spread, and the sound of children’s happy laughter will widely resonate throughout the local community.”
