Creation of Water Play Park at Cheoljjuk Children's Park in Geumha Village, Geumcheon-gu

Installation of Various Physical Development Equipment and Water Play Facilities, Function Improvement as a Four-Season Playground... Expansion of Rest Facilities for Communication and Relaxation Around the Park, Opening to Residents in July

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) is transforming Cheoljjuk Children's Park, the only park in Geumha Village, Doksan 1-dong, into a water play park where children can enjoy water activities during the summer.

Cheoljjuk Children's Park is the only village park established in 1993 in Geumha Village, Doksan 1-dong, Geumcheon-gu, adjacent to Gwangmyeong City. In 2009, it was redeveloped as a children's park themed "Space Exploration" as part of the Seoul City Imagination Children's Park project, but after 11 years, the facilities have aged and the number of visitors has gradually decreased.

Accordingly, the district refined the plan through several resident consultations over the past five months to transform the park into a space satisfying various stakeholders.

The district will install elastic pavement and a water play-type combination playground in the center of the park to enable water play during the summer. The design allows the facilities to be used as general playground equipment during other seasons, thereby enhancing the park's function as a children's park.

Additionally, by rearranging the facilities to secure space, swings, which children enjoy, will also be installed.

Around the park, community and rest facilities will be expanded, and exercise equipment such as shade shelters, fitness facilities, and inverted hanging bars will be added to increase satisfaction among visitors of various age groups. Furthermore, to highlight the village's characteristic as an energy self-sufficient village, solar-powered park lights and information boards will be installed.

The district plans to complete construction by July so that children can enjoy cool water play in the park this summer.

Since Geumha Village was selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Urban Regeneration New Deal project in 2018, it has received national and city funding to promote a resident-centered urban regeneration project aimed at "creating a communicative, safe, and pleasant Geumha Village" through △ establishing a complex resident activity hub △ improving and enhancing the use of the children's park △ installing CCTV and streetlights to improve residential safety △ and street environment maintenance.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, "As the district's first water play-type children's park, I hope it becomes a local landmark where children and residents can forget the heat and enjoy refreshing water play during the hot summer."
