Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) will operate a mobile dog playground called ‘Daengdaengi Playground’ from October 4 to 13.

According to the district, as of September 2024, there are about 21,000 registered animals in Gwangjin-gu, with around 16,000 animal owners. The number has been steadily increasing since the implementation of the animal registration system in 2014.

This Daengdaengi Playground covers an area of 330㎡ and will be operated at different locations on different dates. From October 4 to 6, it will be held at Guui Park, and from October 10 to 13, it will be next to the basketball court at Jungnangcheon Sports Park.

The playtime is divided into three sessions: the first session is from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM, the second session from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM, and the third session from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM. Large dogs over 40 cm in height can only use the playground during the third session on October 6 and 13.

The playground offers ▲ a play area where dogs can run without leashes ▲ one-on-one behavior correction and training education by animal trainers ▲ caricature creation and tug toy making programs.

In particular, on October 4 at Guui Park, there will be an event commemorating ‘Animal Protection Day.’ It will feature a dog fashion show, ‘Dog Life Four-Cut’ photo booth, and an abandoned animal awareness booth, among other diverse activities.

Participants must have registered dogs that have completed rabies vaccinations. Applications can be made via QR code or the mobile dog playground website.

On-site registration is also possible, but entry may be limited if there are many waiting participants. For more details, please contact the Gwangjin-gu Companion Animal Culture Project Team.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We hope everyone creates happy memories outdoors with their dogs in the cool weather,” and added, “We will take the lead in creating an environment where people and animals can live harmoniously through pet etiquette education such as wearing safety gear and cleaning up waste.”
