To enhance convenience for visitors, Buk-gu has secured access to restrooms and shower rooms within the Yeongsan River Grand Park Management Office and installed various auxiliary facilities such as snack bars, Mongolian tents, parasols, sunshades, and changing rooms.

Moreover, safety management personnel are stationed throughout the facility, and a medical room is operated to prepare for emergencies, thereby strengthening safety management.
