Songpa-gu (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) announced that on November 1st, it operated a theme park experience program for 23 children from local children's centers.

This event was organized through cooperation between Songpa-gu, SR, and Kangwon Land to provide children from local children's centers, who lack cultural and emotional resources, with healthy recreational experiences and various opportunities for hands-on activities.

The district linked programs to allow children from local children's centers to experience diverse cultural activities outside their daily lives. SR provided transportation by bus to the theme park, meals, and snacks, while Kangwon Land supported on-site control and volunteers to ensure smooth operation along with theme park admission.

Animal Experience

On the day, the children experienced various railway facilities such as the Switchback Train, which runs zigzag on the country's only mountain railway, rail bikes, and unique mini trains. They also enjoyed rides like the Ferris wheel, carousel, and UFO swing, and had time for animal experiences.

The children who participated in the experience shared their feedback: “It was fun to ride the train and look at the station name signs around the village, and I also enjoyed trying on the conductor’s hat,” and “I liked riding the rail bike and amusement rides, and it was special to be able to touch insects directly. It was a really fun day.”

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, “Songpa-gu will continue to actively cooperate between the public and private sectors to discover and expand various social welfare projects to create a ‘Happy Songpa where no one is left out,’ so that all children can freely dream and grow.”
