Seongbuk-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) has created a 'Mom and Dad VIP Zone' in Gaeunsan Neighborhood Park.

The 'Mom and Dad VIP Zone' is a facility where parents can take a break and relax while their children enjoy playing, linked with existing programs such as the early childhood forest experience.

This Mom and Dad VIP Zone in Gaeunsan Neighborhood Park is also the first facility of its kind established by Seongbuk-gu among Seoul's autonomous districts.

Children can play excitedly under the supervision of early childhood forest instructors in the early childhood forest experience area, while moms and dads can comfortably rest or participate in healing programs in the 'Mom and Dad VIP Zone,' making it an ideal space for the whole family to enjoy happy times in nature, according to Seongbuk-gu.

Kim Seong-gi, team leader of the Park Planning Team at Seongbuk-gu Office's Park and Greenery Division, stated, "The Mom and Dad VIP Zone installed in Gaeunsan Neighborhood Park, which features an ecological experience center, artificial turf playground, Marronnier Yard, and early childhood forest experience area, is highly praised by parents who use it for allowing them to temporarily relieve the stress of childcare and properly heal, showing thoughtful consideration."

Kim Hyang* (38, Jongam-dong), who used the Mom and Dad VIP Zone, said, "Whenever I go out with my child, it was very disappointing that there was no proper place for parents to rest in child-focused facilities. The space for moms and dads in Gaeunsan Neighborhood Park reflects administrative consideration for parents raising children, and I hope more spaces like this will be created in the future."

Lee Seung-ro, mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, "In response to the low birthrate era, we are striving not only to create facilities and programs for children but also to expand practical resting spaces for parents who have no time to rest while caring for their children. To raise children, above all, consideration and respect for moms and dads must be fundamental throughout our society. Therefore, we will provide richer attractions and activities for parents by linking with the upcoming barrier-free forest trail, book resting area, and barefoot clay path in Gaeunsan Neighborhood Park."

The 'Mom and Dad VIP Zone' in Gaeunsan Neighborhood Park was established with a budget of 100 million KRW from Seoul City, reflecting Seongbuk-gu's efforts to reduce the burden on moms and dads when going out with their children in the low birthrate era.
