Held under the theme "Our Own Playground in Hwajeong Forest," the festival centered on play and arts activities.

Seo-gu said it had prepared programs to help children develop creativity, problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate and empathize through experiences in which they create things themselves and communicate with their friends.

The play area featured the "Hwajeong Forest Fruit Playground," which used natural materials from the forest; the "Build-It-Yourself Playground," where children decorated the space themselves; and "Building a Secret Hideout." Families also took part in "K-Traditional Games."

The arts area featured "Mecha Chameleon in Nature," which explored the colors and shapes of nature; "Leaf Printmaking and Drawing," which used the patterns and textures of leaves; and "AI Arts Education," combining technology and art. A stamp tour around the festival grounds and a treasure hunt were also held.

Seo-gu Mayor Kim Igang said, "Children's futures grow through experiences in which they ask questions on their own, communicate with friends, imagine and take on challenges." He added that he would work to make this kind of education possible, with Hwajeong Forest at its heart.
