Guro-gu Completes Senior Playground Construction at Gocheok Neighborhood Park

1 Billion KRW Invested in Gocheok Neighborhood Park Dispute... Completion of Senior Playground with 7 Types and 13 Exercise Equipment Installed

Expected to Serve as a Place for Intergenerational Communication Where Senior Centers and Children's Playgrounds Are Located Within the Park

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) announced on the 13th that it has created a senior playground in Gocheok Neighborhood Park.

Guro-gu secured a project budget of 1 billion KRW after being selected in December last year for the 'Seoul-style Senior Playground Creation Project' promoted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

The district invested 1 billion KRW in Gocheok Neighborhood Park, where the largest number of elderly residents gather among local parks, starting construction for the senior playground on the 10th of last month and completed it on the 8th of this month, within one month.

Through this construction, 7 types and 13 pieces of exercise equipment usable by seniors were installed in Gocheok Neighborhood Park. Unlike conventional general stretching equipment, the installed equipment enhances fine motor skills, balance, and flexibility, adding functionality to the park as a health management space for seniors.

Additionally, to prevent slip accidents among seniors, the old stairs at the park entrance were replaced with wooden stairs and handrails were installed to enhance safety.

Elastic flooring was paved in the area where the exercise equipment was installed to create a pleasant park environment.

Gocheok Neighborhood Park, which also includes a children's playground and senior center, is expected to become a space where generations naturally interact through the creation of the senior playground.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We will do our best to create a clean and healthy city to promote a happy life not only for seniors but for all residents.”
