[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The water playground in Gwangju Citizens' Forest, a downtown summer retreat for children, will open on the 23rd.

Gwangju Metropolitan City will operate the water playground in 'Gwangju Citizens' Forest' in Oryong-dong, Buk-gu, from the 23rd to August 21st to provide a pleasant water play space for children during the summer vacation.

The water playground will be open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and children under 12 years old can use it free of charge.

It will be closed every Monday for thorough cleaning and facility inspection, and will also close on days with typhoons or rain for safety reasons.

The Gwangju Citizens' Forest water playground covers an area of 1000㎡ with an average water depth of 20 cm. The water play facilities include 11 combined play structures such as 'Dolphin and Submarine' and a 125m stream facility. Nearby, there are camping sites, Oreum playground, and tree houses, offering various experiences.

The water supplied to the water playground is 100% tap water, and used water is not reused but replaced daily with fresh water. Additionally, water quality will be strictly managed by conducting water quality tests every 15 days to ensure children can play safely.

To prevent safety accidents at the water playground, safety personnel who have completed safety training will be assigned. Emergency medicines will be stocked to prepare for emergencies, and restrooms and shower facilities will be installed and operated for the convenience of visitors.

Jung Ju-hyung, head of the Green City Project Office, said, “It was regrettable that the water playground could not be operated for the past two years due to COVID-19. We will thoroughly prepare for the opening so that children can enjoy water play close to home during summer vacation and strive for safe operation.”
