[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] Seoul City announced on the 5th that it has newly renovated and opened the Doseon Children's Park playground in Seongdong-gu, promoted as part of the 'Public-Private Partnership Creative Children's Playground Project' in collaboration with Kolon Corporation, Save the Children, and Seongdong-gu.

The Public-Private Partnership Creative Children's Playground Project has been fully funded by Kolon Corporation for five years since 2016, and Save the Children has been contributing company-wide talent donations in design, planning, and construction through a partnership. So far, a total of five old playgrounds, including Daun Children's Park in Gangseo-gu and Madeul Sports Park in Nowon-gu, have been improved into creative children's playgrounds.

Save the Children also formed a resident council called 'NolSaver,' executing the entire project process together with residents and supporting awareness-raising activities on children's right to play.

Seoul City explained that the project site was selected through a public contest where citizens chose their preferred locations, and through NolSaver, design workshops were held so that the opinions of children and local residents were reflected throughout the entire playground creation process.

Choi Yoon-jong, Director of the Green City Bureau of Seoul City, said, "We thank the companies and organizations that protect children's right to play," and added, "We ask for continuous interest and support so that outdoor play is not restricted due to COVID-19."
