The newly opened water playgrounds are located at Yeongdeungpo Park (Yeongdeungpo Bon-dong), Mokhwa Maeul Madang (Mullae-dong), Wonji Children's Park (Daerim 3-dong), and Shinwoo Children's Park (Daerim 3-dong). Kangmaeul Children's Park (Dangsan 2-dong) is scheduled to open later this month.

Each water playground is equipped with facilities such as water spray tunnels, water slides, and pools. The pools are shallow, making them accessible for young children. In addition, the parks offer amenities such as resting areas for visitors’ convenience.

For safety and hygiene management, two staff members who have completed CPR training from the Korean Red Cross are always on-site as a team. The water is replaced daily. Water quality is regularly tested every 15 days, and disinfection and debris checks are also carried out periodically.

The playgrounds will operate until August 30, and hours of use are from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. From July 25 to August 16, during the summer break, they will be open every day except Mondays. Outside of this period, they will operate only on weekends.

Cho Yoojin, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo District, said, "Even without traveling far, I hope our children can enjoy a fulfilling and refreshing summer break at the park water playgrounds. We will carefully manage the facilities so that children can safely enjoy water play in a pleasant environment."
