[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Gab-dong] Amid continued heat waves, Osan City announced on the 15th that it will expand the operation of park water play areas from weekends only to include weekdays starting July 28 to help residents cool off safely and comfortably in nearby parks during the summer vacation and holiday season.

The city has fully opened eight water play areas within the city since June 6, operating from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The water play areas operate for 50 minutes followed by a 10-minute break, with lunch hours from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Until July 26, they will operate on weekends only. From July 28, when summer break begins, through August 16, they will operate daily except Mondays. Special operations are also planned for Constitution Day (July 17) and the alternative public holiday for Liberation Day (August 17).

The eight water play areas within the city are: △Malgeumteo Park △Jungmi Sports Park △Majung Forest Neighborhood Park △Busan 2nd Children's Park △Araetteul Park △Cheonho 2nd Children's Park △Osan City Hall △Osan Stream Rainbow Water Play Area.

The water play areas in urban parks have become a representative summer recreational space where children and families can enjoy water activities without traveling far, and they receive much love from residents every year.

During the operation period, the city plans to prioritize accident prevention by conducting thorough facility safety inspections and water quality management so that visitors can use the facilities safely and comfortably.

Meanwhile, operations may be canceled in case of rain for safety reasons. Detailed operating schedules and information can be found through the Osan City Urban Parks Department and SNS (Instagram @osan_park, Facebook Osan Park).
