Gwangju Nam-gu, Wolsan 2nd Children's Park Transformed into a 'Three-Generation Playground'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] A playground where three generations?children, adults, and seniors?can communicate has been created in Wolsan-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

On the 2nd, Nam-gu announced that Wolsan 2nd Children's Park has recently been transformed into a new cultural and play space through a park maintenance project and returned to the residents.

Since being designated as a park in 1968, Wolsan 2nd Children's Park had traces of time throughout the park, raising the need for maintenance of old and worn-out facilities.

Nam-gu invested 300 million KRW to renovate Wolsan 2nd Children's Park into a playground where three generations?children, adults, and seniors?can communicate.

With the recent completion of construction, facilities such as a zipline play set for children and a net play structure shaped like a pyramid made of thick ropes have been installed.

Additionally, for the health management of adults and seniors, various types of exercise equipment and convenience facilities such as rest areas, sitting walls, and foot baths were provided, and a circular walking path with a gentle slope was created around the park for the convenience of elderly users.

A Nam-gu official said, “Until now, Wolsan 2nd Children's Park had few visitors due to aging facilities, creating a sense of desolation. However, with its new appearance, not only can we hear the laughter of children, but it is also expected to become a beloved resting place for the neighborhood’s elderly.”

Meanwhile, to improve the environment of Wolsan 2nd Children's Park, Nam-gu changed the urban management plan in January last year and promoted this project in a resident-led manner, including holding a residents' briefing session in April of the same year to reflect residents' opinions on the park development.
