Gangnam-gu, Let’s Head to the Theme Park-Style Festival ‘Byeolbyeol Playground’ Hitting Hard This Summer

Held August 4-5 at Yulhyeon Park in Segok-dong, Enjoy a Large Playground on the Outdoor Lawn and a Refreshing Film Festival at the Pool

Gangnam-gu (Mayor Jo Seong-myeong) will hold the summer theme park-style festival ‘2023 Byeolbyeol Playground’ from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on August 4-5 at the lawn yard of Yulhyeon Park in Segok-dong (77-2 Yulhyeon-dong).

Under the theme ‘All Kinds of Fun,’ this festival consists of four themes that children and families can enjoy together: ▲Byeolbyeol Class ▲Byeolbyeol Picnic ▲Byeolbyeol Playground ▲Byeolbyeol Stage.

At ‘Byeolbyeol Class,’ there will be an upcycling workshop where participants can make double ankle cup holders and succulent pots, and a Ttukttak Factory where they can create giant yarn bags and tumbler bag coloring. Families and children can also participate in architectural play based on scientific architectural principles, working together to complete projects. At ‘Byeolbyeol Picnic,’ visitors can enjoy a picnic atmosphere sitting on mats and bean bags on the outdoor lawn, with umbrellas and catch balls available for rent. A heat shelter will also be operated to cope with the heatwave.

At ‘Byeolbyeol Playground,’ children can freely run and play in a large air pool filled with ball pits (8m×8m×3m), and enjoy various games such as kids’ riders, water gun games, and soccer bingo. The Big Bubble Zone, where kids can have fun with soap bubbles, also draws attention. The festival will feature a fantastic Magic & Bubble Show, exciting DJing, a White Bubble Party with white foam falling from the ceiling truss, and self bubble experiences.

The Byeolbyeol Stage, starting at 6 p.m., is the highlight of this festival. In Part 1 (6-7 p.m.), the music concert will feature percussion performances and acoustic shows on the 4th, and children’s theater and children’s cartoon OST a cappella performances on the 5th. Part 2 (7-9 p.m.) will continue with a poolside film festival. In front of the screen, 100 mini pools (for 2-4 people), 100 bean bags, and 100 mats will be set up, totaling 300 seats, allowing about 1,000 people to enjoy movies comfortably even in the tropical night heat. Aladdin will be screened on the 4th, and Zootopia on the 5th.

Meanwhile, from July 28 to August 8, a water playground will open at Yulhyeon Park in Segok-dong and the surrounding Eco Park area. Byeolbyeol Playground can be enjoyed together with this water playground, making the festival even richer.

Some programs require online advance reservations for participation. Detailed event information can be found on the official Byeolbyeol Playground Instagram.

Jo Seong-myeong, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, said, “I hope children and families overcome the heat and have a healthy and enjoyable summer at Byeolbyeol Playground,” and added, “We will carefully prepare so that this summer festival, held for the first time this year, can establish itself as a representative summer festival of Gangnam.”
