Geochang Changpoweon Children's Water Playground

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang County in Gyeongnam has opened the Geochang Changpowon Children's Water Playground and has begun full-scale operation.

On the 9th, an opening ceremony for the Geochang Changpowon Children's Water Playground was held with guests including County Governor Goo In-mo, County Council Chairman Lee Hong-hee, Kim Myung-sook, Chairperson of the County Child Committee, provincial and county council members, and users in attendance.

A county official stated, "The water playground, which had been suspended due to the spread of COVID-19, will operate until August 7. It is expected to become a resting space for residents exhausted by the hot summer heat."

This water playground, opening for the first time in three years, is equipped with various convenience facilities such as a toddler pool and children's pool linked with the cooperative water playground, water slides, free shade tents, and Mongolian tents. Six safety personnel will be stationed full-time to pay special attention to children's convenience and safety.

The water playground operates free of charge from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will be closed every Monday and during bad weather for safe and pleasant facility management.

Geochang Changpowon will do its best to manage water quality by replacing water daily, removing floating debris every hour, and regularly requesting water quality inspections through water quality testing agencies.

Governor Goo said, "Because children were unable to run freely outdoors due to COVID-19, causing a difficult time for parents and children, I consider it meaningful to open the Geochang Changpowon Children's Water Playground today after three years. We will do our best to ensure safety and hygiene management so that many family tourists and residents can use it cleanly and comfortably."

Meanwhile, Geochang Changpowon, Gyeongsangnam-do's first local garden where visitors can enjoy water play amid the floral scents of blooming Baekryeon and Hongryeon, along with visitor convenience facilities such as kids cafes and book cafes, has attracted about 1,500 family visitors over two days starting from the first weekend of its opening.
