It is a playground that can encompass all generations as travelers unfamiliar with traditional games can come and learn and enjoy together. This has the meaning of a space like a floor where the Korean word ‘Maru(floor)’ and ‘Dal(moon)’ meet and people mingle together, and a space where the moon hangs at the end of the roof of a Hanok.





It is a space where you can enjoy Pannori, which was popular in the Joseon Dynasty. Let's sit on the floor and play 'Ssangryuk', a game in which dice are thrown and moving pieces to decide the winner, and 'Gonu', which is similar to Baduk or chess.

It is a space where there are various outdoor games that can be enjoyed in the yard, such as Ttakjichigi, Jegichagi, and Biseokchigi. Parents explain to the children how to play with stories of their childhood with excited faces from time travel for a while. Seeing the whole family take turns enjoying the game makes you feel very happy. The yard overflowing with laughter and warmth will remain in your memory for a long time.
