Creating Special Memories for Children and Adolescents: 'Yeongdeungpo Child Family Playground' Event

On the 5th, Yeongdeungpo Park Opens Playground for Children and Families... 22 Types of Play Equipment Including Darts, Air Bounce, and a Popup Playground for Families

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Chaehyunil) has prepared the ‘Yeongdeungpo Child Family Playground’ event to allow local children and adolescents to create special memories with their families in celebration of Children's Day.

The district stated that this special event was planned for children going through difficult times due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the cancellation of various events.

Eligibility to participate was limited to immediate families of up to five members including children and adolescents. Applications were accepted for seven days from the 23rd to the 29th of last month, with a total of 333 families applying.

To ensure fairness in selecting participating families, two families directly participated in a random draw, and finally, 80 families were selected.

The event will be held on the 5th at Yeongdeungpo Park. Participating children and families can enjoy 22 types of playground equipment set up in three locations: the circular plaza, the lawn park, and the futsal field. A photo zone will also be provided to capture the joyful memories of the day.

A resident participation pop-up playground will also be operated. Along with a paper box pop-up playground conducted with the help of child play activity experts, the playground will be operated on the ground so that families can enjoy it together.

To ensure a safe event from COVID-19 infection, the district introduced a reservation system and time-based operation. Each session will operate for two hours followed by 30 minutes of disinfection, limiting participation to no more than 20 families per session to disperse the number of users within the venue.

Additionally, a professional disinfection company has been selected to conduct regular disinfection on the day of the event to thoroughly prevent COVID-19 infection.

Yeongdeungpo District Mayor Chaehyunil said, “I hope that families who have found outdoor activities difficult due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic can create precious memories, even if briefly, in a small but fulfilling play space, and that this will bring some comfort.”
