Jongno-gu 'Sungin Dodam Public Parking Lot' Completed... Monthly Parking Fee 60,000 Won

Parking available for a total of 66 vehicles across 2 basement levels and 1 ground floor... Equipped with restrooms and a rooftop park... Parking fee is 60,000 KRW per day, with a time-based rate of 250 KRW per 5 minutes for visitors

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jongno-gu (District Mayor Kim Young-jong) has established the 'Sungin Dodam Public Parking Lot' (Sungin-dong 471) to resolve the severe parking shortage in the Sungin-dong area and has been operating it since the 16th.

The newly constructed public parking lot in the Sungin-dong area is a place densely populated with single-family houses and multi-family houses, where residents have consistently raised complaints about inconveniences caused by parking difficulties.

The district started construction in October 2017 to alleviate these inconveniences for residents and improve the parking environment more comfortably, opening the public parking lot this month.

It is a two-story underground and one-story aboveground facility with a total capacity of 66 vehicles, and it also features a 'restroom' and a rooftop park that combines green spaces and resting areas.

It operates as a resident-priority parking zone, but visitors to the area can park in spaces that are vacant.

The parking lot and rooftop park are open 24 hours, while the open restroom is available from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The parking fee is 60,000 KRW for a full day, and for hourly parking, a fee of 250 KRW is charged per 5 minutes.

From the design stage, the district focused on creating a space where residents can communicate with each other as well as ensuring the parking lot functions effectively and harmonizes with the surrounding environment.

In particular, the rooftop park of the parking lot was planted with shade trees and various wildflowers to improve the image of the parking lot, which could otherwise feel barren and dark, while providing a resting space for residents in the area.

The Sungin Dodam Public Parking Lot is expected not only to contribute to resolving the parking shortage in the area but also to enhance the quality of life for residents by providing a fresh and pleasant village environment.

District Mayor Kim Young-jong said, “I bow my head in gratitude to the residents who actively cooperated with the construction despite the various inconveniences such as dust and noise during the construction period,” and added, “We will continue to expand public parking lots step by step to resolve the frequently occurring parking shortage problems characteristic of Jongno, located in the city center.”
