[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Yangsan City, Gyeongnam, has completed the reservoir park project implemented as part of the comprehensive development plan for the rainwater pump station reservoir and will open it to citizens starting from the 21st.

The Beomeo Rainwater Pump Station was established in 2007, but the absence of safety railings on the deck within the reservoir and aging facilities had posed safety concerns for citizens and affected the urban landscape.

In addition to improving the deck facilities, the city created a pond as an attraction through park development and installed a photo zone with the Yangsan Tower as the background. They also planted aquatic plants such as lotus, iris, and reeds around the deck to improve the water quality of the reservoir.

Furthermore, exercise equipment and walking paths were installed, along with lighting facilities for nighttime walks and sound systems to enjoy gentle music, transforming the reservoir into a park integrated into daily life.

Kim Il-gwon, Mayor of Yangsan City, said, “The Beomeo Reservoir is open to citizens at all times except during the rainy season when heavy rainfall occurs. We will continue to manage it meticulously as a park where citizens want to visit, within the limits that do not interfere with the reservoir’s function.”
