Seo-gu plans to manage water quality by changing the water daily, refilling with fresh water, and cleaning the surroundings, as well as cleaning the retention tanks at least once a week.

In addition, safety management will be strengthened to prevent accidents caused by overcrowding of water play area users.

Seo-gu will assign four safety management personnel who have completed emergency response training, including action guidelines and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, to the water play areas.

Kim Ikang, head of Seo-gu Office, said, “The urban park water play areas where children can enjoy with their families right in front of their homes are a hot place in Seo-gu to escape the heat,” and added, “We will do our best to ensure safety management so that residents can have a happy and enjoyable summer.”
