Over 12,000 Visitors Since Pre-Opening of 'Seoul Muljaesaeng Experience Center' in March

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Water Reuse Facility Corporation announced that it will officially open the child-centered rest-themed park "Seoul Water Reuse Experience Center," created at the country's largest sewage treatment facility, the 'Seonam Water Reuse Center,' on the 1st.

The "Seoul Water Reuse Experience Center" was established through the modernization project of the Seonam Water Reuse Center by relocating the aging sewage treatment facilities underground. It covers a building area of 3,176㎡, consists of two above-ground floors, and includes a rooftop observatory. The experience center has been open to the public on weekdays since its pre-opening on March 22 of this year. Over the past three and a half months, more than 12,000 visitors have come, and to ensure a safe and comfortable environment as an interactive exhibition hall, a reservation system by session was introduced and operated.

After the official opening, various educational programs will be offered to provide multifaceted experiences to understand water reuse. Programs include "Tongtong, Water Story," where visitors meet the water cycle and its importance through picture books; "30 Seconds, Making a Practice Song!," which explores the causes of water pollution and creates songs about daily practices; and "Water Reuse U Quiz?," where families and friends solve quizzes themselves in the exhibition to understand the sewage treatment process. These programs will be operated periodically for infants, young children, elementary students, and teenagers.

Coinciding with the opening of the experience center, the Seoul Water Reuse Park Water Playground, opening for the first time this year, spans 800㎡ and features various water play facilities such as a claw fountain, bouncing water droplet play equipment, and sound pipe multi-play equipment, creating diverse water play experiences. It is equipped with convenience facilities including large shade tents, changing rooms, drinking fountains, and portable restrooms, allowing visitors to enjoy water play comfortably.

To ensure safe water play, the number of users at the water playground is limited and operated by a reservation system. Citizens wishing to use the facility can make reservations on the Seoul Public Service Reservation website. Park Sang-don, Director of the Seoul Water Reuse Facility Corporation, said, "We will do our best to make this a space where more citizens can understand Seoul's water reuse process and a resting place where they can comfortably enjoy leisure time," and added, "We ask that visitors follow the instructions of safety personnel and safety rules to prevent accidents while using the water playground."
