Geumcheon-gu Geumha Village Cheoljjuk Children's Park Reconstructed as a 'Water Play Park'

Installation of Play-Type Combination Playgrounds, Shade Shelters, and Fitness Equipment... Expansion of Rest Facilities for Communication and Relaxation Including Tree Planting and Hedge Creation Around Parks

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that Cheoljjuk Children's Park, the only park in Geumha Village, Doksan 1-dong, was redeveloped into a water play park where children can enjoy water activities during the summer and was opened to residents on the 12th of last month.

Cheoljjuk Children's Park was created in 2009 as part of the Seoul City Imagination Children's Park project with the theme of 'Space Exploration,' but due to aging facilities, the district, after several consultations with residents, redeveloped it to provide an exciting water play environment for children and a space to soothe the minds and bodies of residents exhausted by the heatwave.

The district installed popular exercise facilities such as a water play combination playground including a palm tree bucket in the center of the park and shaded fitness equipment.

Around the park, various types of trees were planted, including 1,750 shrubs and 3,580 herbaceous plants, and the old fence was removed and replaced with a privet hedge to enhance openness.

Additionally, the old restroom outside the Cheoljjuk Children's Park senior center building was comfortably renovated and is scheduled to open on September 2nd.

Meanwhile, to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is spreading nationwide, the operation of water play facilities is currently suspended.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, “We expect that Cheoljjuk Children's Park, newly developed as the district's first water play park, will become an urban resting space enjoyed by children and residents alike.”
