Porsche Opens 3 Additional 'Porsche Dream Playground' Indoor Gyms for Kids

Completion Scheduled for Gyeongyeon, Daedong, and Daeyeong Elementary Schools

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Porsche Korea announced on the 31st that it will further strengthen its efforts toward sustainable education and the environment by opening three additional Porsche Dream Playgrounds this year.

Now in its fifth year, the "Porsche Dream Playground" is one of the flagship projects of the "Porsche Do Dream" social contribution campaign, supporting the construction of indoor gymnasiums to help students express their creativity.

Starting with the recently completed Porsche Dream Playground at Gyeongyeon Elementary School in Incheon, Porsche Korea plans to sequentially complete Dream Playgrounds at Daedong Elementary School and Eunpyeong Daeyoung School in Seoul by October.

This year, student opinions were incorporated into the design of the Dream Playground spaces, and upcycled materials made from recycled waste were used in the indoor playground to reflect Porsche’s core value of sustainability.

The Porsche Dream Playground at Gyeongyeon Elementary School in Incheon was designed to allow students to experience the value of resource circulation by utilizing upcycled materials, automotive airbags, bean bags, and other recycled items in unused hallway spaces rather than traditional classrooms. Additionally, a boat-shaped playground reflecting the regional characteristics of the port city of Incheon was created.

At Daedong Elementary School in Seoul, where over 70 percent of the students are multicultural, the Porsche Dream Playground remodeled a spacious 190㎡ auditorium to enable children to develop cooperation and sociability through various physical activities such as baseball, soccer, and basketball.

The Porsche Dream Playground at Eunpyeong Daeyoung School in Seoul, a special school for children with physical disabilities, was designed by actively reflecting the opinions of teachers and parents. A large trampoline to aid physical activity was installed, and upcycled material mats were used for floor and wall finishes to ensure safety.

Holger Gehrmann, CEO of Porsche Korea, said, “Since the true value of social contribution lies in sustainability, I feel great pride in the ‘Porsche Dream Playground’ project that has continued for the past five years,” adding, “I hope it will become a representative space of the brand where more students nationwide can freely play, dream, and realize those dreams.”
