🎪 About the Event
Sincheon Water Play Park opened in summer 2024
on a 9,267㎡ site on the Sincheon Stream bank.
It has a wave pool with artificial waves,
plus a lazy river and a family pool.
Daegu City turns this water park
into a different space
each season.
This spring it also opened
as a spring culture space with books and films,
and this autumn the city added new attractions
to the popular features.
Daegu City says it will grow the water park
into a four-season waterfront culture space.
✨ What’s in Each Zone?
Here are the zones from the press release
in a table.
| Zone | What’s there |
|---|---|
| Book Lounge (Sincheon Culture Yard) | Grass mats · single sofas · parasols · about 700 books |
| Play Plaza (Sincheon Culture Yard) | Mini basketball hoops · play blocks |
| Dodalssu Photo Zone | Giant balloon · new pop-up boxes · 10m-tall autumn light tree |
| Wave Sound Lounge | A place to rest to the sound of waves · a cinema on Saturday evenings |
Sincheon Culture Yard is open
daily 10:00~18:00.
The giant balloon has been there since last spring,
and the autumn light tree has night lighting,
so you can take photos both day and night,
the city says.
🎬 When Is Sincheon Cinema and What’s Showing?
Every Saturday 19:00~21:00
an outdoor cinema with a big screen
and sound system opens.
Starting with ‘Malmoe’ on September 26,
it screens six films in total
that the whole family can watch together.
| Order | Film |
|---|---|
| 1 | Malmoe: The Secret Mission (말모이, first screening 9/26) |
| 2 | Inside Out 2 |
| 3 | Coco |
| 4 | F1 The Movie |
| 5 | Les Misérables |
| 6 | Spider-Man: No Way Home |
The press release only gives the order,
not a date-by-date schedule.
There are eight Saturdays
from September 26 to November 14,
so the official information doesn’t tell us
which film plays on which Saturday.
🚇 Getting There & Parking

Sincheon Water Play Park is
on the Sincheon Stream bank
near Daebonggyo Station in Icheon-dong, Nam-gu.
(based on news reports when the water park opened in 2024)
It’s close to Daebonggyo Station
on Daegu Metro Line 3.
Parking and transport information
for the autumn culture space
is not in the Daegu City press release.
👨👩👧 If You’re Visiting with Kids
Read in the Book Lounge during the day,
play with blocks or shoot hoops in the Play Plaza,
and on Saturdays
you can stay on for the evening film.
Sincheon Culture Yard closes at 18:00
and the film starts at 19:00.
That hour in between
is a good time for dinner.
On October weekdays from 10am to 12pm,
the city supports kindergarten and daycare
picnics and outdoor classes
with space and supplies.
