Today, I visited the water playground at Samnak Ecological Park.
It just opened today, Tuesday, July 29.
The exact address is: 29-70, Samnak-dong, Sasang-gu, Busan, located in the cultural plaza area of Samnak Ecological Park.

Of course, the operation period and hours are important too!
The park will be open from July 29 to August 24, 2025,
and the daily operating hours are from 10 AM to 5 PM.

What about the entrance fee?
Surprisingly, it’s free!
However, access is managed through online reservations and on-site ticketing.

There’s a limit of 1,000 people via online reservations and 500 people through on-site tickets per session.
So please make sure to plan accordingly!

Inside the pool area, there are a variety of fun facilities including a wooden deck pool, a 60-meter tube slide, a bubble pool, a polar bear slide, a climbing pool, a lazy river, and a water basketball court!
Just looking at it all makes it seem super exciting!

On top of that, you can enjoy a wide range of delicious food options!
From snacks like sweet and spicy chicken (dakgangjeong), chicken skewers, and fried chicken,
to Korean street food favorites such as tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), ramyeon, sundae (Korean blood sausage), assorted fritters, and jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles)—they’ve got it all.
Plus, there are plenty of drinks and treats like soda, ice cream, and coffee!

I visited the site myself today,
and wow — there were so many people!

Even before the park officially opened for the day, the parking lot was already full.
Families, including lots of little kids, were already changed into their swimsuits and getting ready to enjoy the water.

It was so heartwarming to see everyone smiling and laughing together — such a joyful atmosphere!

And the path leading to the Samnak Ecological Park Water Playground?
Absolutely beautiful.
I couldn’t help but be drawn to all the gorgeous flowers along the way.
My eyes naturally followed the blooms without even realizing it.

Although the water playground was still being prepared when I visited,
I could see that it was quite large in scale, and there seemed to be a wide variety of activities to enjoy.

But what really stood out — above everything else — was the 60-meter tube slide.
It immediately caught my eye!
Not only was it long, but it also had a decent slope — I’d estimate about 25 degrees.

It looked like the kind of slide that would be a hit with both kids and adults alike.
Definitely one of the main highlights of the park!

I visited the Samnak Ecological Park Water Playground today,
and maybe because it's located within an ecological park,
the walk to and from the playground was beautiful and truly healing.

Not only can you enjoy the water activities,
but there are also peaceful spots in the surrounding park where you can relax and unwind.
So if you're planning to visit, keep that in mind!

Wishing you a wonderful and joyful day!
