Gumi City in North Gyeongsang Province will expand the operation of urban water play spaces in preparation for the full onset of summer heat.

The city aims to strengthen summer leisure infrastructure within daily living areas so that citizens can enjoy a cool summer at nearby parks without having to travel far.

Each water playground will be equipped with various water play facilities, including combination play structures, water drops, and ground fountains, which are expected to attract children and families.

The operating hours are from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and admission is free.

The facilities will be closed every Monday for inspection and maintenance, and operations will be suspended during rainy weather for safety reasons.

The city is also focusing administrative efforts on ensuring visitor safety. Professional safety staff will be stationed at each water playground at all times to prevent accidents and maintain order.

Regular water quality inspections, cleaning, and disinfection will also be conducted to maintain a pleasant environment for users.

Additionally, water playgrounds currently under development at Hyeonggok Park and Otae Central Park, as well as the one being remodeled at Dabong Park, are scheduled to open sequentially in July as preparations are completed. Once these additional facilities are open, accessibility and convenience for citizens are expected to improve further.

Jangho Kim, Mayor of Gumi, stated, "I hope the urban park water playgrounds will provide citizens with a place to cool off and create precious memories with their families," adding, "We will proceed without delay in establishing new water playgrounds so that more citizens can enjoy summer close to home."

Meanwhile, Gumi City plans to expand urban leisure spaces by increasing daily life-oriented recreational facilities, actively responding to citizens' summer leisure needs.

A summer vacation that does not require distant travel—Gumi's urban parks are expected to become popular family-friendly summer destinations.
