Creation of 'Herb Experience Park' Linked with Gangdong-gu Herb Astronomical Park

Developed as an Eco-Friendly Living Park Centered on Residents in the Development Restriction Zone... Expected to Serve as a Healing Space for Residents through Various Herb Experience Programs

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon) is creating a 'Herb Experience Park' connected to the 'Herb Astronomy Park' located in Iljasan.

The site, a government-owned land in the greenbelt area (Dunchon-dong 575-3) where herbs supplied to the 'Herb Astronomy Park' were cultivated, was selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's 'Greenbelt Resident Support Project (Living Park Contest Project),' receiving a free lease of the land and 400 million KRW in national funding.

The project covers an area of 3,454㎡, with an additional 100 million KRW from the district budget, totaling 500 million KRW.

The target site has completed the urban planning facility designation process to develop the greenbelt area into a park, and after review by the Urban Park Committee, it is scheduled to be reborn as an eco-friendly living park centered on residents by October this year.

The district plans to create a herb experience area, walking trails, small rest areas, portable restrooms, and drinking fountains that can be linked with existing programs such as the 'Five Senses Satisfaction Herb Experience Class,' 'Make Your Own Herb Pot,' and 'Herb School Garden Farm,' providing residents with a space to experience seasonal herbs and relax.

Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, "I hope the Herb Experience Park will become a space where residents can directly cultivate and plant herbs and find a small measure of healing."
