The Gwangju Water Park, operated by the Gwangju City Management Corporation, will serve as a safety hub for local children.
According to the corporation, the water park was designated as a 'Child Safety Center' on September 30.
The Child Safety Center program provides temporary protection for children in dangerous situations and assists with police reporting and transferring them to guardians.
As part of this initiative, signs indicating the Child Safety Center have been installed at both the main and rear entrances of the Gwangju Water Park.
This measure allows children in urgent situations to easily identify the location and seek help.
For child protection needs, assistance can be obtained at the information desk on the first floor.
As a public sports facility used by local residents and children, the Gwangju Water Park aims to enhance not only the convenience of facility use but also the safety net within the community.
Citizens have responded positively to the establishment of a space where children can seek help in sudden emergencies.
One resident stated, “It’s reassuring to know there is a visible safe place for children when they are moving around or using the facility alone. I hope there will be guidance to help children recognize the Child Safety Center signs in advance.”
A representative from the corporation commented, “We plan to engage staff in protective activities to ensure children can safely request help in emergencies and to create a public sports facility that citizens can use safely.”
