On July 9 at 5:30 p.m., Uijeongbu City (Mayor Kim Donggeun) announced that it will hold the 'Jangam Island Castle Waterpark Reopening Ceremony' at the indoor waterpark located on the first basement level of Jangam Island Castle.

This event is intended to announce the resumption of the waterpark's operations and has been organized as a warm occasion for sharing and unity with the local community.

The event will be attended by citizens, Mayor Kim Donggeun, members of the provincial council, the CEO of Upperstreetment, and local figures. The main program includes a welcoming address and congratulatory remarks, a ribbon-cutting ceremony and commemorative photo session, a tour of the facilities, and a ceremony to present waterpark admission tickets to underprivileged groups.

Jangam Island Castle is a large-scale, multi-purpose leisure facility equipped with both indoor and outdoor waterparks, hot springs, and bade pools, among various other amenities. It is designed to accommodate families, groups, and tourists conveniently.
