As the summer heat intensifies, Tongyeong City opened children’s water play facilities at Misu Marine Park and Jukrim 6 Children’s Park from July 6 for two weekends, before officially starting from July 20 to August 25.

The newly built Buksin Beach Park waterfront space, constructed in 2023, also began operations on July 2 and will run through September 10, following a trial period on weekends from May to June.

The water play facilities were free of charge during the operating period. Operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the water play areas at Misu Marine Park and Jukrim 6 Park, with a 15-minute break every hour after 45 minutes of play.

Buksin Beach Park operates from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., with a 20-minute break every hour after 40 minutes of play.

Misu Marine Park and Buksin Beach Park are closed every Monday, while Jukrim 6 Children’s Park is closed every Tuesday. The facilities can also close for safety reasons in case of rain or bad weather.
