During the inspection on April 30, Deputy District Mayor Bae Hyungwoo and related departments started with Dasan Children's Park and then moved on to Eoullim Library, Donghwa Resident Park, Jung-gu Educational Support Center, and Kkum Nuri Children's Park. On-site, they checked for corrosion or slipping hazards in play facilities, as well as other safety threats in the surrounding area. Issues that could be addressed immediately were fixed on the spot, and additional measures requiring further action will be handled promptly.

In May, a series of Children's Day celebrations will be held throughout Jung-gu. On May 4, the Donghwa-dong Youth Guidance Council will host the "Donghwa Nara Sports Day" at Daehyeonsan Reservoir Park in Donghwa-dong, with participation from children who use the Kiwoom Center.

On Children's Day, May 5, the 12th "Feeding on Dreams" event will take place at Dasan Children's Park in Sindang 5-dong. Organized by Gonggam Center and co-hosted by the Sindang 5-dong Community Center and Gyodong Council, the event will feature a variety of activities and performances, including balloon art and bubble shows, food stalls, and experience booths. On May 9, the 2nd "Our Neighborhood Play Festival" will be held at Hwanghak Children's Park under the sponsorship of the Hwanghak-dong Gyodong Council, offering air bounce attractions and experience booths.

There are also a variety of programs by institutions.
