Environmental Maintenance of Neighborhood Rest Areas in Dongjak-gu

Facility Maintenance Projects at Dohwa Park, Family Shelter, and Yangji Village Plaza until June... Facility Replacement, Tree Replanting, and Pavement Renovation Based on Local Residents' Feedback

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Lee Chang-woo) will carry out environmental maintenance, including facility replacement and tree planting, targeting rest areas within the district until June.

This project was selected as a '2020 Citizen Participation Budget Project' with a budget of 630 million KRW, aimed at transforming aging rest areas into safe and comfortable relaxation spaces.

To ensure smooth progress, the district conducted on-site surveys and technical feasibility reviews in January, gathering local residents' opinions, and plans to begin construction by the end of this month.

The target sites are ▲ Dohwa Park (Sangdo-dong 244-183 and 7 others) ▲ Family Shelter (Sangdo-dong 259-116) ▲ Yangji Village Yard (Sadang-dong 220-6), totaling three locations.

The main maintenance items include ▲ replacement of aging children's playground equipment ▲ replacement of old rest facilities ▲ tree planting ▲ replacement of floor pavement, among others.

First, the children's playground equipment will be replaced with various play facilities such as combination play sets, swings, and rocking toys that can foster children's imagination and creativity.

Additionally, the installation of pergolas to help residents relax comfortably, as well as replacement and addition of exercise equipment, will create spaces that people of all ages can use and enjoy.

Furthermore, 14 species of trees and flowering plants, including Cheongdanpung (Acer palmatum), Jopapnamu (Spiraea), and Jasanhong (Nandina domestica), will be planted to create urban green spaces where residents can experience seasonal changes and nature.

Kim Won-sik, Director of the Parks and Greenery Division, said, "We expect that the reorganization of the village yards will allow residents to use nearby rest areas more safely and conveniently," adding, "We will continue to promote various projects for residents' rest and convenience."

The district is also pursuing a street tree growth environment improvement project and expansion of roadside green spaces targeting May, and is conducting the '5-Minute Park Project,' including the Sadang-dong Water Playground and the Healing Forest in Hyeonchung Neighborhood Park, to enable residents to use park facilities close to home.
