Hwaseong City Resumes Pet Family Playground Operations from the 12th

[Suwon Ilbo=Lee Su-won Reporter] Hwaseong City has resumed operations of its pet family playgrounds from the 12th, following the winter closure period.

The two pet family playgrounds directly operated by the city are the Dongtan Yeoul Park Pet Family Playground and the Seosin-myeon Baekmi Healing Yard Pet Family Playground.

In particular, the Dongtan Yeoul Park Pet Family Playground underwent expansion construction during the closure period and now features a dedicated small dog playground, providing a wider and more pleasant play space.

Main facilities include an exercise ground where pets can freely run and play, pet water bowls, and rest areas for visitors.

To use the pet family playgrounds, registered pets and their owners aged 13 or older must enter together. Use is free of charge.

Operating hours for the Dongtan Yeoul Park Pet Family Playground are from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., with regular closure on the last Monday of each month. The Baekmi Healing Yard Pet Family Playground operates from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with regular closure every Monday.

In addition to regular closure days, the playgrounds may close on Labor Day, Chuseok, scheduled disinfection days, and due to weather conditions.

Kang Jin-woo, head of the Pet Family Division, said, "Pet family playgrounds that can satisfy pets' need for activity are an essential facility in an era when the pet-owning population has reached 15 million. We will continue to make efforts to create clean and safe pet family playgrounds and provide a pet family cultural space where pets and people can coexist harmoniously, thereby contributing to the establishment of a healthy pet culture."
