Seongbuk-gu Jeongneung-dong Bukhansan Park Entrance Rock Garden and Grass Garden Development
After Completion of Phase 1, Phase 2 Project to Reorganize Deulkkochhyanggiwon Next to Jeongneung Elementary School Planned for This Second Half of the Year
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) has created an urban garden including a rock garden and a grass garden on a 2,000㎡ site at the entrance of Bukhansan Park (231 Jeongneung-dong), which was completed last month.
The area around 231 Jeongneung-dong is easily accessible as it is the terminus of the village bus and the starting point of the Bukhansan Dulle-gil trail. It is rich in natural environment and is a popular spot for many local residents and hikers. The district office implemented this themed garden project to improve the landscape of Bukhansan Park and provide various seasonal attractions, thereby enhancing the convenience for visitors.
The newly created themed garden features 34 species of trees including Ko Gwangnamu, Blue Star Hyang, and Hydrangea, as well as about 100 species of herbaceous plants such as Nipopia, Phlox, Iris, Magic Carpet, and Silver Grass, decorating the rock garden and grass garden. In front of the Seongbuk Ecological Experience Center, a lawn yard for outdoor activities and a wildflower walking path have been established. Lighting reminiscent of fireflies has been installed to allow visitors to enjoy the scenery even at night.
The Bukhansan themed garden project is funded with 800 million KRW from the Seoul Metropolitan Government. After completing the first phase around the Seongbuk Ecological Experience Center in July, the second phase will be carried out in the second half of this year to refurbish the Wildflower Fragrance Garden next to Jeongneung Elementary School.
