"From Mats to Tents for Just 1,000 Won"... Seogu Launches '1,000-Won Picnic' Service
Rental Service Available Every Saturday in October at Parks and Festivals
Held at Sangmu Citizen’s Park, Seochang Silver Grass Festival, and Pungam Community Sports Park
A picnic rental service that allows you to borrow all the essentials for an autumn outing—such as mats, tents, tables, and play items—for just 1,000 won is being operated in Seogu District, Gwangju, Jeollanam-do.
On October 7, Seogu District announced that it will run the “1,000-Won Picnic” every Saturday throughout October at local parks and festival venues popular with residents.
This initiative is part of the district's “1,000-Won Policy,” which allows visitors to rent picnic items for just 1,000 won so they can enjoy parks and festivals without needing to prepare separate equipment.
The service operates from 12:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. It will begin at Sangmu Citizen’s Park picnic area on October 10, followed by the Seochang Silver Grass Festival venue near the Yeongsangang Bicycle Information Center on October 17, and then at Pungam Community Sports Park Book Festival on October 24.
The rental items are tailored for different purposes. There are three sets available: “Nupbang Picnic” (designed for comfortable relaxation), “Outdoor Play Picnic” (equipped with outdoor play items), and “Fabre Picnic” (designed for observing nature with children).
Individual items available for rent include mats, strollers, pop-up tents and sunshades, mini tables, floor chairs, and board games.
In particular, on October 17, a rental booth will be set up at the Seochang Silver Grass Festival. The district plans to provide picnic items so that visitors can relax on the grass or enjoy games with family and friends right at the venue.

Lee Ikang, Chief of Seogu District Office, said, “For autumn outings, I hope everyone can travel light, without the burden of having to pack numerous items,” adding that he hopes many people will use the 1,000-Won Picnic service at parks and festivals to make memories this fall.
