[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] As daytime temperatures recently approach 30 degrees Celsius and outdoor visitors to ecological parks increase, Haenam-gun has been operating the Gocheonam Ecological Park ground fountain since the 19th.

According to Haenam-gun on the 28th, visitors to the ecological park are required to comply with quarantine guidelines such as temperature checks and safety calls upon entry, and on-site guidance is provided to ensure safe water play by wearing masks when using the ground fountain.

The ground fountain operates twice daily from Thursday to Sunday, from 1 to 2 p.m. and from 3 to 4 p.m., and additional operation is planned during the vacation period after mid-July.

From Monday to Wednesday, operation is suspended for cleaning the fountain reservoir and replacing the water.

This year, the county also plans to install shade tents above the children's playground to prevent heat-related safety accidents among children.

The park also features a charming children's playground, making it a hidden gem frequently visited by family groups.
