Nowon-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) announced that it has refurbished Jungpyeong Children's Park to improve the play environment for children and completed the establishment of Nowon-gu's first Seoul-style Kids Cafe within the park.

The district has been carrying out a park refurbishment project to address various inconveniences experienced by residents due to the park's aging facilities.

First, to create an indoor playground at Jungpyeong Children's Park, the area around the construction site within the park was renovated. Old facilities such as walking paths, rest areas, restrooms, and landscape lighting were replaced, and the multipurpose sports ground, requested by residents, was relocated while the playground floor was newly paved.

In particular, a "Street Workout" space was created by installing exercise equipment such as an unlimited pull-up bar and standing cycles for outdoor bodyweight workouts, thereby building infrastructure to promote residents' everyday sports activities.

A Seoul-style Kids Cafe was newly established within the park to provide a safe space where children can play regardless of external environmental conditions. An eco-friendly safety system was introduced to block harmful environmental substances such as fine dust, creating a pleasant play environment.

The Seoul-style Kids Cafe at Jungpyeong Park is equipped with various play facilities designed for infants, children, and their guardians to use together, including physical play areas, play care services, and a book resting area. Fixed play equipment such as net towers, hill climbing, stepping stones, ball pits, and slides, as well as mobile play items like pretend play, camping play, and life-themed toys, are provided.

The cafe is scheduled to operate temporarily from July 23, during which time it will be free of charge. Reservations can be made through the Our Neighborhood Care Portal website. The cafe is closed on Mondays, operates three sessions on weekdays from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and four sessions on weekends from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.

Official operations will begin on September 1, with usage fees set at 2,000 KRW per child and 1,000 KRW per guardian.

Meanwhile, the district is developing Nohae Park, which is expected to be completed this year, into a "Youth Specialized Sports Space." In addition to creating a circular walking path, rest areas, and reinforcing children's play facilities, the park will feature an X-Game area (extreme sports such as skateboarding), a Street Workout space (street exercise involving various bars for performing advanced physical postures), a futsal field, and a basketball court.

District Mayor Oh Seung-rok stated, "By refurbishing Jungpyeong Children's Park, we have enhanced convenience for local residents and newly created a safe and pleasant play space for children. We will continue to do our best to develop park infrastructure that satisfies all residents, from children to seniors."
