The Hanam City Children's Center is planned to open in 2026, with a total project cost of 29.1 billion KRW. It will be expanded on a site area of 1,225㎡ within the 5,269㎡ Misa Senior Welfare Center site, with a total floor area of 4,452.94㎡, consisting of two basement floors and five above-ground floors.

Detailed facilities will include a public kids cafe, indoor playground, exhibition space, and a complex play-centered area such as a play experience room and rooftop outdoor futsal field.
