Picnic Pool Experience in Ichon Hangang Park for Everyone
Have you heard about the 2024 Seoul Design International Forum happening on November 27th (Wednesday)?
The event will focus on the theme *"Designing the City of the Future:
The Future of Sustainable Cities and Design"*
and will explore urban design for the city of Seoul and its citizens.
In line with this year's forum, the city of Seoul has created a new waterfront leisure space that’s accessible and enjoyable for all citizens:
the *"Picnic Pool for All."*
*The Picnic Pool for All* is located at Ichon Hangang Park.
It’s a picnic space designed for everyone, with picnic tables and benches,
so there’s no need to reserve a spot – just come and enjoy the area comfortably!
I went to experience the Picnic Pool! The pool is designed with a swimming pool motif, laid out in the shape of a pool.
The circular 'pool' design really gives you the feeling of being at a swimming pool,
even though it’s meant as a picnic space, creating a fun and lively atmosphere with many people around!
The picnic pool offers a variety of spaces to enjoy a picnic,
including individual, bench-style, and standing picnic areas where visitors can relax.
The space is also designed to be accessible for people using strollers or wheelchairs, ensuring everyone can comfortably enjoy the area.
The design not only focuses on convenience but also adds an element of fun,
ensuring that visitors can enjoy both comfort and enjoyment during their time at the picnic pool.
At the 2024 Seoul Design International Forum,
design enthusiasts will gather to explore and discuss designs that benefit everyone.
Just like the 'Picnic Pool for All,' the forum will focus on designs that are inclusive and accessible to all.
On November 27th, 2024 (Wednesday), at DDP Art Hall 2,
a forum will be held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of DDP and to discuss future design.
We kindly ask for your interest and participation!
