Gangdong-gu's water facilities are established throughout the city alongside beautiful gardens, providing residents with comfortable and cool waterside spaces and serving as popular spots for leisure and relaxation.

The 7 scenic water facilities installed at locations such as Iljasan Waterfall and Gangdong-gu Office Station Traffic Island operate twice daily (12 PM and 2 PM) for 90 minutes each session from May to September. Meanwhile, 14 water play facilities, including Sangjingaro Park and Seongsim Children's Park, operate three times daily (1 PM, 3 PM, and 5 PM) for 40 minutes each session from July to August.

In particular, water play facilities will have safety personnel trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) stationed at all times to ensure the safety of the primary users, children. Additionally, water quality tests will be conducted every 15 days, and retention tanks will be cleaned at least once a week to maintain strict hygiene, creating a safe and enjoyable water play environment.
