For those looking to beat the heat this summer, nine water parks in Changwon will be starting operations from July 7th.

These water parks, a popular summer facility for children, will be available at nine locations, such as Uichang-gu Gamgye Park No. 3, Sahwa Park, Seongsan-gu Corporate Love Park, Daewon Park, Masanhappo-gu Hyeondong Park, March 15 Marine Nuri Park, Masan Howon-gu Samgye Park, Jinhae-gu Ancheong Park, and Yeojwa Park.

The operating period spans 45 days, from July 7th to August 20th, with opening hours from 11:00 am to 4:40 pm. However, the parks will be closed every Monday for facility inspection and cleaning.

Yeojwa District Water Park in Jinhae-gu and Sahwa Park Water Park in Uichang-gu will be the first to open this year, with a total of nine water parks planned for operation in 2022, an increase of two from the previous year.

Last year, the water parks attracted over 150,000 visitors during the 45-day period, highlighting their popularity among children.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, the city will conduct facility and safety inspections before the opening, deploy 7 to 8 safety management personnel at each water park, and provide necessary training to staff members by July 5th.

The aim is to create a safe and pleasant environment for visitors to enjoy the water parks to the fullest.
