In particular, since the official start of the summer vacation on July 28, more than 6,000 people have visited the playground. The venue now attracts over 500 visitors on weekdays and an average of more than 1,200 on weekends, demonstrating its soaring popularity.

The number of visitors from outside Yeoju is also steadily increasing. To date, the cumulative number of non-local visitors has reached approximately 4,500, making the water playground a well-known attraction not only among Yeoju citizens but also among residents from neighboring areas. Positive reviews continue to spread on social media and online communities, with comments such as "The facilities are clean and it's a safe place for children to play," and "It's the best value-for-money summer spot."

In response to this high level of interest and support, Yeoju City has extended the operating hours by two hours, from the usual closing time of 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., between August 1 and August 10. This extension is intended to help visitors avoid the daytime heat and to allow families to enjoy the playground comfortably after work.

Of the 10,000 won admission fee, 8,000 won is refunded in local currency, reducing the financial burden for visitors and contributing to the revitalization of the local economy.

A Yeoju City official stated, "Ohak Water Playground was created to provide citizens with relaxation and enjoyment during the summer," adding, "We will continue to do our best to ensure even safer and more satisfying operations in the future."

Ohak Water Playground will be open until August 17, and is available to everyone from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (until 8 p.m. from August 1 to August 10).
