Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gong Young-min) announced that the Palyongsan Natural Recreation Forest water playground, which was suspended due to COVID-19, will open on the 28th (Friday) and operate until August 20th.

The recreation forest water playground covers an area of 930㎡ and is equipped with facilities such as a water playground, shower rooms, pergolas, and restrooms. Anyone can use it for free by paying a small parking fee (3,000 KRW for small and medium vehicles, 5,000 KRW for large vehicles).

The operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the facility is closed every Monday for maintenance and disinfection.

If you are looking for a special place to beat the peak summer heat after the unusually long rainy season, we recommend the Palyongsan Natural Recreation Forest water playground, where you can enjoy ice-cold water play in the cool mountain breeze. Additionally, if you want to enjoy the pleasure of forest bathing over a one-night, two-day schedule, Palyongsan Recreation Forest is also recommended.

Nearby, the “Palyongsan Cypress Healing Forest” boasts the largest cypress forest trail in Korea and a water healing room using citron, pomegranate, and cypress, where you can heal your tired body and mind and enjoy relaxation.

Meanwhile, a county official said, “To prevent safety accidents at the water playground, children must be accompanied by a guardian, and users are strongly advised to follow the instructions of the safety staff.”
