A Multi-Generational Creative Playground in Ulsan: Fun for All Ages
Located in Jungsan-dong, Buk-gu, Ulsan, the Multi-Generational Creative Playground (세대공감 창의놀이터) is a space where all generations can play, learn, and connect.
This area, once a food waste processing plant, has been transformed into a複合 cultural space through an urban regeneration project.
The playground is largely comprised of a wood playground, a net playground, and program spaces.
Each area is specialized by age group and play purpose, enhancing convenience for visitors.
Located at 25 Jungbo 1-gil, Buk-gu, Ulsan, it offers ample parking.
While slightly outside the city center, it is accessible by public transportation. Get off at Ehwa Village, and it's a 10-minute walk.
The Multi-Generational Creative Playground operates on a reservation system for a pleasant and safe environment, and usage is free.
Reservations are automatically canceled if the time passes, but on-site registration is available for a limited number of people, so you can sometimes register on-site if you want to continue playing!
The operating hours are from 9 AM to 6 PM, and it is closed every Monday.
The net playground operates in four time slots per day, each lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes, except for the lunch time slot (2nd slot), which is 1 hour. On Wednesdays only, it operates from 6:30 PM to 9 PM.
Socks are required in the net playground to prevent toe injuries, and long pants are recommended over shorts.
The net playground spans from the basement floor to the first floor, allowing children to climb up and down the colorful nets for physical activity.
It is available for children aged 5 to 12. Some children are initially scared of the height, but they soon enjoy rolling around and hanging from the nets, losing track of time.
The nets, made of vibrant high-tech reinforced fiber ropes, offer both elasticity and stability. Children can move through various spaces like clouds, butterflies, beetles, and big trees, fostering social skills as they interact with new friends.
Reaching the top of the two-story net structure leads to a resting area next to the shelter.
Children climb up to see their parents and take a break on beanbag chairs.
It's also a good time to drink water.
Besides climbing the nets, there are various play tools available.
Safety personnel play with the children and engage in games, making the time with them enjoyable.
Games like dropping balls to guess which container they'll fall into, hula-hoop, and throwing games make the 1.5 hours feel short.
On the second floor, there's a space where parents can relax and watch their children play.
Comfortable chairs and tables are available, and you can enjoy reading books from the bookshelf!
Note that food is not allowed in this area.
A space to ride Taba & Tayo, made by utilizing the basement floor's leftover space, appears.
After wearing a helmet, I put my child on Taba, made from recycled tires.
It was more tiring than expected, but it was quite fast, and the child enjoyed it, so we rode it for quite a while.
The child even offered to pull me, which was touching even though it was too much.
If you visit with family, it seems good to spend time pulling each other.
I briefly visited the wood playground, which I used to visit often when my child was younger.
It was still well-maintained, feeling neat and clean.
Admission is limited to children up to 5 years old, with a capacity of 10 people, ensuring a pleasant environment for children to play.
Unlike the net playground, you must take off your socks to play in the wood playground.
This is to prevent slipping!
This is a play area for children and guardians, so please play with your child.
As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by the subtle scent of wood!
All play equipment and teaching aids are made of eco-friendly wood, allowing children to safely play while feeling the warm texture of wood.
There were many toys and teaching aids that help develop fine motor skills, such as play kitchens, train sets, fishing games, and stacking games.
It's the perfect place to foster creativity, interaction, and learn rules through various games with parents.
Inside, there are lockers and a nursing room.
There is a microwave to heat baby food, as well as a comfortable sofa and diaper changing table for convenient use.
The Village Sarangbang and Noeul Maru, cultural experience spaces, are located on the second floor.
They are used as places for club activities or craft experiences!
When I visited last time, I saw them busy preparing for an adult cooking program.
I liked that it was an environment where all generations, not just children, could experience various programs.
Walking along the hallway, there was a space where you could relax with a camping feel and a piano.
If you visit with plenty of time, you can relax and read or use the piano, which is available to everyone.
The last space I would like to introduce is the Village Workshop.
It is a creative playground where various hands-on activities are possible!
Looking at the works created through the programs, the wonderful works using various materials and tools caught my eye.
The Multi-Generational Creative Playground, which can be used as an eco-friendly play space where children can run around freely and as a place for culture and communication for adults, is always open.
The Moonlight Playground, which can be enjoyed until late without a reservation, is also open, so you may want to visit on Wednesday evenings.
