Suncheon City Opens 6th Miracle Ecological Playground in Ocheon District

Opening of the Longest Playground with Safety through Children's Inspection Team Operation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) opened a newly established Miracle Ecological Playground on the 18th in the Ocheon district as part of guaranteeing children's right to play and creating a child-friendly city.

The newly created 6th Miracle Ecological Playground is located on approximately 2,700㎡ of land at 1046 Ocheon-dong (Neighborhood Park) and features six types of play facilities including a sandpit, flying net, and zip line, as well as convenience facilities such as shade trees, benches, drinking fountains, and foot washing stations.

The site was selected by local residents, and the 6th Miracle Playground was created based on fun and creative works made by children attending the Miracle Playground Design School, who visited the site and expressed their ideas using clay and tools.

In October, Suncheon City prioritized children's safety by operating a children's supervision team, adjusting the location of a fall-risk playhouse (culvert) placed in the large sandpit, and completed all administrative procedures after obtaining safety inspection certification and installation inspection for the play facilities.

To commemorate the opening of the 6th Miracle Ecological Playground, the city will exhibit photos documenting the playground creation process, from resident workshops to the operation of the children's supervision team, until the 31st.

Mayor Heo Seok of Suncheon said, "I congratulate the opening of the Miracle Playground, which allows children to escape narrow spaces in the non-face-to-face era caused by COVID-19 and develop experience, adventure, and creativity in nature." He added, "We will create a city where children can touch soil and play freely, a child-friendly city, and the city ranked number one in happiness."

Meanwhile, starting with the 1st Miracle Playground opened in 2015 in Yeonhyang 2 district, Suncheon City has opened the 2nd in Shindae district, the 3rd in Gangcheong Park in Seomyeon, the 4th in Updong Lake Park in Yongdang, the 5th in Yeonhyang 1 district, and now the 6th Miracle Playground, which, at a total length of 120 meters, is the longest Miracle Playground to date.
