Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jeong Wono) announced that the popular water play spot, ‘Salgoti Water Playground,’ will open on the 15th of this month.

Located in Sagun-dong Salgoti Sports Park, the ‘Salgoti Water Playground’ is an urban water playground with a total floor area of 5,157㎡. It features facilities such as children’s and toddler water play areas and ground fountains, accommodating up to 800 people at the same time.

In addition to water play facilities like slides, convenience facilities such as shade tents and parking lots are fully installed, allowing families with children to use the playground free of charge from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

To accommodate residents who have trouble sleeping due to tropical nights, Salgoti Water Playground will also operate at night from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. starting July 15. There will be 50 minutes of operation followed by a 10-minute break, and the playground will be closed every Monday.

With this year’s heatwave forecasted, the district plans to pay even closer attention to ensuring a fun and safe water play experience. First, they completed a full refurbishment of the water playground facilities and the worn-out flooring, including installing an elastic ramp in the toddler pool and renovating the changing rooms.

Additionally, to prepare for emergencies that may occur during water play, safety management will be strictly enforced with a total of 22 staff members, including 20 safety personnel and 2 management staff.

Hygiene is also thoroughly maintained. Freshwater is replaced once daily, and water quality is tested twice a day. Water quality tests are commissioned twice a month, and comprehensive daily cleaning is conducted to ensure impeccable hygiene management.

Moreover, safety and customer service training for the management staff will be conducted to ensure a safe and enjoyable water play experience.

Jeong Wono, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “As we fully embrace the return to normal life, I want to offer children a refreshing healing experience where they can happily play at Salgoti Water Playground this summer. We will thoroughly ensure safe operations so that even nearby places can become urban summer retreats.”
