Gangdong-gu Launches Full-Scale Promotion of 3.1 Movement Commemorative Theme Garden... Implementation Design Plan Derived

Gangdong-gu Sangil-dong 511 Waterside Park Area Developed as a Historical Site of Modern and Contemporary History... Open Park Created with the Theme of the March 1st Movement History

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon) announced that the detailed design plan for the ‘March 1st Movement Commemorative Theme Garden’ being created around Sangil-dong 511 Waterfront Park has been completed.

Last June, the district commissioned a design service for the installation of a March 1st Movement monument, but expanded the project into a waterfront park landscape improvement project to create an open park commemorating the historic site, enhancing resident usage and developing a scenic space.

The basic design guidelines reflected the design guide from the March 1st Movement commemorative space creation basic concept and feasibility study service completed last November, and the space was composed and designed with landscaping facilities and rest areas that can be installed in the waterfront park.

The district plans to select a contractor after review by the Seoul City Urban Park Committee in February once the design is finalized, and to begin construction around April this year. The construction is expected to be completed around June, followed by an unveiling ceremony, and the site will also be used as a place for historical education targeting youth.

Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, “I am pleased that the design plan has come out well, reflecting the services conducted so far,” and added, “By linking the historical significance and enhancing the landscape quality, I hope the waterfront park will become a place of correct historical awareness and a sanctuary for residents’ hearts.”
