Songpa-gu to Open 'Hahaha Olympic Snow Sledding Park' on the 1st of Next Month

Songpa-gu, Seoul (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) will operate the "Haha Hoho Olympic Snow Sledding Park" at the Peace Plaza in Olympic Park for 39 days from January 1 to February 8 next year. The snow sledding park, which opens at 10 a.m. on the 1st of next month, will welcome family visitors during the winter vacation period with various experiences.

The district will set up a large-scale snow sledding park at the Peace Gate Plaza so that people can experience snow sledding in the city. An 80-meter-long slope for teenagers and a relatively gentle 40-meter small slope are separately prepared so that children from toddlers to teenagers can enjoy it safely.

The operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, with the park open for 45 minutes at the top of every hour and closed for 15 minutes. Anyone aged 3 to 15 can use the facility free of charge.

In addition, the snow playland is equipped with a snow playground, igloos, and photo zones. The curling experience zone offers a unique opportunity to enjoy "curling," a sport familiar from the Winter Olympics but difficult to experience easily.

Mongolian tents and heating equipment are installed to serve as waiting and resting areas for guardians, and food trucks will be operated. Seventeen resident staff members, including safety personnel, facility managers, and nursing staff, will be deployed to ensure safe operation and prepare for emergencies.

From the 29th, before the opening, a three-day trial operation will be conducted targeting local children and youth facilities for final inspection. This project was supported by local companies through designated donations.

The "Haha Hoho Olympic Snow Sledding Park" is the second seasonal event following the "Haha Hoho Olympic Water Playground," which opened last summer and attracted 13,000 visitors. This continues the Olympic Park landmark business agreement signed in July between the district and the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation through this winter. Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, "We will do our best to maintain safe operation and the best snow conditions to establish this as a representative winter attraction in Seoul."
