Gangseo-gu Gongamnaru Neighborhood Park Walking Trail and Convenience Facilities Renovated

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) has newly renovated Gongam Naru Neighborhood Park located in Gayang-dong to allow comfortable walks all the way to the Han River.

Gongam Naru Neighborhood Park, frequently used by local residents, had somewhat inconvenient facilities due to its old and uneven walking paths and a dry stream where water did not flow.

Accordingly, the district office carried out a comprehensive facility improvement project from November last year to June this year to create a pleasant and easy-to-walk environment.

The previously uncomfortable cracked concrete walking paths were neatly refurbished using eco-friendly materials such as silica sand and masato (compacted soil).

In particular, the walking path under the 0.7 km-long Metasequoia trees offers a beautiful scenery reminiscent of a scene from a movie.

Along the path, 53,000 flowers and herbaceous plants of 33 species including Moksooguk, Osaekbeodeul, Munui Eoksae, and Gaura were planted, naturally cleansing the eyes and mind just by strolling around.

Next to the walking path, where the dry streambed had no flowing water and was parched, a dirt path was created where visitors can comfortably walk while enjoying the scent of grass with their pets.

Great attention was also paid to improving rest and convenience facilities. New benches were installed midway along the walking path to enhance aesthetics and user convenience, and playground equipment was replaced to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for children to play.

Mayor Noh Hyun-song said, “We have newly renovated the aging Gongam Naru Neighborhood Park, which had many inconveniences, so that it can be used comfortably and safely,” adding, “We will continue to refurbish aging facilities within neighborhood parks to develop healing spaces that residents can enjoy together.”
