Operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a one-hour break from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. for safety inspections and water quality management due to crowding.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, "We hope families and friends enjoy a pleasant time at the Dongdaemun-gu Water Playground during the hot summer."

A district official added, "Since there is no parking lot at the Jungnangcheon site where the water playground is installed, we recommend using public transportation."
