The pet water play area will operate from the 25th of this month to the 11th of next month (closed every Monday) at the multipurpose plaza within the Daejeon Pet Park, with one 10㎡ pool each for small and medium-sized dogs (under 40 cm in height) and large dogs (40 cm or taller).

Usage is available daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in 90-minute sessions at ▲10:00 ▲11:30 ▲13:30 ▲15:00 ▲16:30.

To use the water play area, advance reservations must be made through the "Daejeon OK Reservation Service." Reservations are limited to 10 small and medium-sized dogs and 5 large dogs per session. The usage fee is free of charge.

However, only one pet per guardian can use the facility, and if two or more pets want to use the water play area, each must have a separate guardian reservation.

Guardians are also allowed to enter the water play area. However, there are no separate shower facilities for guardians, and pet shower products, towels, life jackets, and other necessary water play items must be prepared separately.

Pet drying services are available for a fee at the pet shower room on the first floor of the Pet Culture Center.

For more detailed information about using the water play area, inquiries can be made through the Pet Department of the Daejeon Animal Protection Office.

Im Geon-muk, head of the Daejeon Animal Protection Office, said, "We will do our best to prepare for the operation of the water play area so that pet owners can enjoy water activities and bond with their pets during the summer." He added, "In addition to the swimming pool, the water play area will include a photo zone, mini fountains, and rest areas."
