Completion ceremony
The park's completion ceremony took place on 15 October 2013[3] and involved the chiefs of the armed forces along with top government officials. Premier of North Korea Pak Pong-ju delivered a speech saying that "The water park is the edifice built thanks to Korean Peoples' Army service personnel’s spirit of devotedly carrying out any project and their fighting traits as they are ready to flatten even a high mountain at a go in hearty response to the order of the supreme commander."[4]
Facilities
The park has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a volleyball court, a rock climbing wall, a hairdresser as well as a cafe and a bar.[2] Entry to the park costs €10.[5]
