Citizens Can Enjoy Water Play at Parks Throughout Suwon

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Jun-sung] Suwon City announced on the 12th that it will operate water play facilities at 12 parks near residents' homes until the end of next month so that citizens can enjoy water play.

The water play areas are located at Ilwol and Saemnae Parks (Jangan-gu), Gwonseon, Majung, Maehwa, Whale Adventure Children's, and Sandleur Children's Parks (Gwonseon-gu), Sukji Park (Paldal-gu), and Maeyeoul, Whale Back Children's, Mulbongson Children's, and Bangduk Parks (Yeongdeungpo-gu) – a total of 12 locations.

Operations run daily except Mondays and rainy days. Parks in Jangan-gu operate from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Gwonseon-gu from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Paldal-gu from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Yeongdeungpo-gu from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Each hour, the facilities operate for 40 minutes starting on the hour, with a 20-minute break.

All water in the play areas uses tap water, and the water is replaced daily with fresh water. To ensure citizens can use the facilities with confidence, the city requests water quality inspections from a drinking water quality inspection agency at least twice monthly.

To prevent safety accidents, safety management personnel are stationed at the facilities, and the play equipment, surrounding cleanliness, and condition of the facilities are regularly inspected.

In addition to park water play areas, the city operates various water features such as ground fountains and musical fountains where citizens can enjoy water play within parks.

Citizens can check which parks have these facilities by searching 'water features' in the search window on the Suwon City website (https://www.suwon.go.kr).
