Most of these facilities are located within urban parks, making them easily accessible and popular summer destinations for families.

Notably, this year the Balmun Playground in Deokgye Neighborhood Park has been newly renovated. The city is taking thorough safety measures by conducting facility inspections and cleaning both before and after operation through professional companies, and by replacing the water once daily to maintain water quality.

A Yangju City official stated, "We will rigorously manage water quality and safety to ensure that everyone can enjoy these water play areas with peace of mind during the hot summer," adding, "We hope children and families will have a cool and pleasant summer in the city."
