At the Gwangju Seo-gu Council, a proposal was raised to establish "public indoor playgrounds" as a core public care policy to address the issue of low birth rates.

Yoon Jungmin, a member of the Gwangju Seo-gu Council, expressed gratitude for the efforts of the executive branch to be selected for the public indoor playground project during a five-minute free speech at the 2nd plenary session of the 337th extraordinary session held on January 23. She emphasized, "This project should not end as a one-time facility creation, but must become a key policy for public care."

Assemblywoman Yoon highlighted, "It is a very meaningful achievement that Seo-gu District Office secured project funding (1 billion KRW according to the contest criteria) by being selected for the LH 'Generation Empathy Sharing+ Social Contribution Project' contest. The significance lies in the fact that the public care policy, which has been discussed jointly by the council and the administration, has led to tangible administrative results."

She particularly noted the positive aspect that, during the contest process, the public indoor playground was planned not simply as a play space, but as a public service encompassing child care, family support, and intergenerational empathy.

Assemblywoman Yoon stated, "A public indoor playground is a space where society collectively shares the burden of parental care, realizing the public nature of caregiving. I hope that the facility will be operated stably, with the deployment of professional staff, the establishment of safety standards, and a rational usage system all being prepared together."

She added, "I also hope that the purpose of creating a complex cultural hub for intergenerational empathy will be realized, and that the participation of seniors will lead to meaningful roles."

In conclusion, Assemblywoman Yoon remarked, "Being selected for this contest is an important milestone for Seo-gu in becoming a city where it is good to raise children. The council will also work together with the executive branch to ensure that this policy is established stably and develops into a sustainable care policy."
