[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dong-jin Lee) has created a water playground by utilizing the open space along the Jungnangcheon Stream next to Seowon Apartment in Dobong-dong so that parents and children can enjoy water play together during the hot summer.

The district is expanding water playgrounds so that residents can enjoy water play nearby without needing to travel far for summer vacations.

In particular, the Jungnangcheon riverside is a frequently visited area by Dobong-gu residents for walking and cycling, making it a popular spot for family visits.

The district invested a total of 1.7 billion KRW to create the water playground, and improved the surrounding walking paths and bicycle roads to provide a more convenient and pleasant environment for residents.

To this end, after going through various administrative procedures including consultations with the Seoul Regional Land Management Office and the Seoul Metropolitan Government, construction began in March this year and was completed in September.

The newly created Jungnangcheon water playground covers an area of 830㎡ and includes 19 water play facilities of 12 types, 3 shade tents, and deck rest areas. Additionally, 230 meters of walking paths and bicycle roads were thoroughly maintained for residents' convenience.

Furthermore, a 200㎡ Dooly Ssangmun water playground was created in the plaza in front of the Dooly Museum at 267 Ssangmun-dong. After removing the existing ground fountain, a water playground and rest area were established.

The Dooly Ssangmun water playground, completed on the 18th, consists of 4 types of water play facilities and 2 rest areas.

Moreover, the district is currently investing a total of 2.4 billion KRW to create a water playground and sports facilities near Nokcheon Bridge riverside. This is to enable residents to enjoy leisure activities closer to home. The water playground will cover 750㎡ and include 23 water play facilities of 14 types. One basketball court and one jokgu court will also be installed. Construction began on the 7th and is scheduled for completion in December this year.

Mayor Dong-jin Lee of Dobong-gu said, “Although it was unfortunate that the facilities could not be used this year due to COVID-19, we can look forward to next year. We will continue to support so that children can run freely and residents can enjoy pleasant leisure activities by using water playgrounds and leisure facilities nearby.”
