The playground at Seogwang Children's Park installed play facilities using eco-friendly natural wood, differentiated from typical combination play equipment, and created a sand play area that stimulates the five senses to maximize children's sensitivity and creativity.

In particular, filter sand imported from Donghae, Gangwon-do was used in the sand play area, and shade tents were installed to protect children from the hot sunlight, allowing them to play comfortably.

Seo-gu also created a healing garden to provide a resting space with music flowing in a green living garden for guardians and residents.

A representative from a nearby local children's center said, "Previously, children only played on the swings at the playground, but now they put the swings aside and are fully engaged in sand play and adventure play," adding, "We are grateful that the children are having so much fun."

Yang Dongsik, Director of the Parks and Greenery Division, said, "Urban parks and gardens are very important as leisure and resting spaces that residents encounter most closely in their daily lives," and added, "We will continue to create living gardens with flowers, trees, and music in children's parks to provide natural playgrounds for children and healing spaces for parents."
