The county recently completed the installation of a pond and an air bounce water playground at Bokbunja Amusement Park.

Additionally, mini sand dunes have been created around the area, and palm trees, straw parasols, and rattan sunbeds have been placed throughout to create an exotic atmosphere.

The refreshing water play facilities and children's boats, which help beat the heat, have been operating since the 29th, providing endless fun and enjoyment for children.

As darkness falls on the amusement park, pretty lights turn on one by one, creating a romantic atmosphere different from the daytime. Lights also illuminate the pond and palm trees, making them sparkle beautifully.

On the 5th of next month at 7 p.m., a performance titled ‘Summer Night Blues’ featuring Sinchon Blues and Jeon Young-rok will take place, and on the 12th at 7 p.m., ‘Summer Night Rock’ performances with Yoon Sung with Africa Band and Geonadeul Band, among other famous singers, will be held.

In addition, every Saturday, visitors can enjoy hot air balloon experiences, pet cafes, and a mini zoo, all prepared for visitors to enjoy and participate in.

County Governor Shim Deok-seop said, “We have prepared a variety of programs so that audiences of all generations can cool off and heal from the midsummer heat,” adding, “I hope this will contribute even a little to the revitalization of tourism at Bokbunja Amusement Park and the local economy.”
