Water Gun Fight in the City... How About Summer Vacation at LetsRunPark Busan Gyeongnam?

If a long summer vacation feels burdensome, how about cooling off with water play at an urban park?

LetsRun Park Busan·Gyeongnam has recently emerged as a ‘water play sanctuary’ with great accessibility and cost-effectiveness, attracting family visitors.

Here, there is a ‘ground fountain’ perfect for lightly enjoying refreshing water streams. The fountain, the best water play space for infants and young children, is located in Derbyland Plaza, where 246 nozzles continuously shoot cool water streams.

The ground fountain operates on Fridays and Saturdays from 1:00 PM to 5:30 PM. It runs five times a day at 30-minute intervals on the hour, and there is no separate usage fee.

The ‘Thumbs Up Water Festival,’ which opened on July 1, attracted about 4,000 visitors in its first week despite the irregular monsoon and cloudy weather, and around 10,000 visitors over the course of a month.

Originally operated only on weekends, the water park expanded to three days a week including Fridays until the second week of August for the vacation season, and it will also be open on the public holiday of Gwangbokjeol.

The admission fee is 4,000 KRW for the morning session (10:00 AM to 1:50 PM) and the afternoon session (2:00 PM to 5:50 PM). Adults pay an additional 2,000 KRW entrance fee for the racecourse.

Water park visitors can enter the racecourse from 9:30 AM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. However, on Friday, August 4, due to the summer horse racing closure, visitors only need to pay the water festival fee without the racecourse entrance fee.

LetsRun Park Water Festival features a 25-meter air slide, large air bounce and air pool, and a 50cm deep water pool suitable for children under 120cm in height. Along with these, exciting music, water gun fights, refreshing water cannons, and surprise events will also be held.

On the left side of Derby Plaza is the large sled hill, Sled Hill, which is 90 meters long with a 40-degree slope. At Sled Hill, visitors can enjoy speed while sledding through cool water streams and wind.

It operates from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Fridays, 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Saturdays, and 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sundays, with a usage fee of 2,000 KRW for three rides.

However, on Fridays, it is free from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM. Children under 110cm in height can ride accompanied by a guardian.

Additionally, convenience facilities such as temporary changing rooms and showers, shaded rest areas, food trucks, and water play equipment shops are also prepared for visitors.

A representative of LetsRun Park Busan·Gyeongnam said, “We will not overlook hygiene and safety by deploying safety management personnel and regularly inspecting the play facilities and surrounding cleanliness.”

He added, “This summer, if you immerse yourself in the cool water streams at LetsRun Park Busan·Gyeongnam, the heat will soon fade away, leaving only unforgettable memories.”
