"Enjoy Water Play at the End of Summer in Changwon" ... Changwon Special City Introduces Water Play Areas

Urban Park Water Playgrounds, Marine Sports, and Water Parks

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam introduced water play areas in Changwon that can be enjoyed close to home without having to travel far, perfect for beating the lingering heat after the typhoon.

For families with young children who cannot yet be left alone and have no thoughts of going on a vacation, urban park water play areas are ideal for momentarily forgetting the heat.

Gwangam Beach located in Jindong-myeon, Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam.

Changwon City operates urban park water play areas from 11 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. until the 20th. There are nine locations across five districts: ▲ Uichang-gu Gamgye 3rd Park ▲ Sahwa Park ▲ Seongsan-gu Gieop Sarang Park ▲ Daewon Park ▲ Masanhappo-gu 3·15 Haeyang Nuri Park ▲ Hyeondong Park ▲ Masanhoewon-gu Samgye Park ▲ Jinhae-gu Ancheong Park ▲ and Yeojwa District Water Play Area. The facilities are closed on Mondays for maintenance.

Since these facilities are close to home and free to use, rivaling private water parks, they are so popular that on weekends people have to do an "open run" to secure a good spot.

At the ground fountains, cool streams of water pour down like heavy rain, and the slides, as thrilling as water slides, bring a refreshing feeling just by looking at them. You can lay out a mat under a parasol and rest to escape the heat.

The water play areas operate on a cycle of 40 minutes running and 20 minutes resting every hour on the hour. During the rest period, the water the children played in is drained and replaced with fresh water to maintain cleanliness. Safety personnel are always on duty to prevent accidents. Simple shower rooms and changing rooms are also available.

Changwon’s only beach, Gwangam Beach in Jindong-myeon, is also open until the 20th. Although not large in scale, compared to nearby beaches in Geoje or Busan, it has fewer waves and shallower water, attracting many family vacationers. Children can run freely in the air pool and safely enjoy thrills on the air slide. It is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

If swimming at the beach feels hot and boring, how about water leisure activities that can instantly blow away the irritation caused by the heat? If you admire the charm of water leisure activities that cut through the water with white foam but hesitate due to cost or safety concerns, you can ease those worries in Changwon.

Changwon has two marine sports centers where you can safely and affordably experience water leisure activities under expert guidance: Jinhae Marine Sports Center located in Sojukdo Park, Jinhae, and Masan Marine Sports Center located on Dongsom Island, Masan.

In Jinhae, you can enjoy various water leisure activities such as cruiser yachts, rafting boats, kayaks, motorboats, and bandwagons according to your preference.

On Dongsom Island in Masan, you can experience cruiser yachts and kayaks, plus the added fun of boat rides. There is also a 6-hour long-distance sailing program that departs from Dongsom Island, passes through Sojukdo in Jinhae, and returns.

At Robot Land, Changwon’s only theme park, where refreshing water streams and water bombs pour down chaotically, the ‘Water War’ event is being held until the 27th, allowing visitors to enjoy getting soaked with excitement.

Standing around the main stage of Robot Land, 18 water cannons simultaneously spray water, allowing you to fully enjoy a cold water splash. The water gun party, enjoyed to dynamic music, features a ‘Waterman’ fully armed with water sprayers, adding to the fun. The water gun party with water splashes is held daily except Mondays. On weekends, it is extended until 9 p.m., transforming into a night party with dazzling lights, dance, and DJing to cool down the tropical nights.

The ‘Water Fun Village’ is also not to be missed. Equipped with thrilling water slides and a large pool, it has different depths for toddlers (50 cm), youths (80 cm), and adults (1 m), allowing all ages to safely enjoy the water.

Among Robot Land’s 22 rides, ‘New Voyage,’ which quickly descends riding the water flow, is the most popular ride in summer, perfect for beating the heat and stress while getting splashed by cascading water.
