Yeongdeungpo-gu (Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that it will open four water playgrounds starting July 1 to help residents cool off during the summer heat.

On July 1, two water playgrounds will open at ▲Yeongdeungpo Park in Yeongdeungpo-dong and ▲Shinwoo Children's Park in Daerim-dong. On July 22, two more water playgrounds will open at ▲Wonji Children's Park in Daerim-dong and ▲Mokhwa Village Yard in Mullae-dong.

The water playgrounds at Wonji Children's Park in Daerim-dong and Mokhwa Village Yard in Mullae-dong will open on July 22 after completing renovation work to improve outdated facilities for residents' convenience.

The water playgrounds will operate from July 1 to August 31, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. During the school vacation period (July 22 to August 20), they will be open daily, while outside of this period, they will operate only on weekends and public holidays.

However, in case of rain or urgent energy-saving measures due to the energy crisis alert level, the operation of the water playgrounds may be suspended or adjusted flexibly.

The water playgrounds are free for all residents to use. Before opening, the district conducts trial runs and assigns safety personnel at each site to prevent accidents and manage the facilities diligently.

Additionally, sterilization and water purification systems are operated continuously to maintain clean water quality, with water replaced daily so that children and parents can use the water playgrounds with peace of mind.

Local water playgrounds are popular among residents as they allow them to enjoy water play near their homes without the severe traffic congestion and economic burden of traveling outside the city.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, said, “I hope the water playgrounds become a local hotspot that helps residents overcome the heatwave and enjoy a pleasant summer. We will continue to manage the facilities carefully so that residents can use them safely and conveniently.”
