Gwangjin-gu to Fully Close Achasan Public Parking Lot for 'Cultural Healing Plaza' Development

Guui Baseball Stadium Annex Parking Lot, Substitute Use of Parking Lots at Jangrohoe Theological University and Dongui Elementary... 'Cultural Healing Plaza' Community Space to Be Created on Parking Lot Site in June This Year

Plan for Creating a Cultural Healing Plaza

Achasan Public Parking Lot and Meeting Plaza Site

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) will completely close the Achasan public parking lot starting from the 22nd, as the ‘Achasan Cultural Healing Plaza’ is being established at the entrance of the Achasan hiking trail’s meeting square and parking area.

To alleviate parking inconveniences for residents, the district guides the use of alternative parking lots at ▲Guui Baseball Stadium Annex Parking Lot ▲Presbyterian Theological University ▲Dongui Elementary School.

The Guui Baseball Stadium Annex Parking Lot (Gwangjang-dong 520-10) has a total of 66 available parking spaces, Presbyterian Theological University (Gwangjang-dong 353) has 193 spaces, and Dongui Elementary School (Guui 2-dong 4-5) has 25 spaces.

Considering that these parking lots are farther than before, the district is currently reviewing the operation of a circular village bus around Achasan.

The area of the closed parking lot will be combined with the existing Achasan meeting square to create the ‘Cultural Healing Plaza’.

The Achasan public parking lot was small in scale, raising concerns about accidents due to parking wait times, and the meeting square, established in 2002, had become outdated with low space utilization.

Therefore, the district decided to transform this area into a ‘Cultural Healing Plaza,’ a leisure, experience, and cultural space for visitors and local residents.

The Cultural Healing Plaza is scheduled to be completed in June this year and will feature a forest rest area where visitors can relax with nature, an observatory, an outdoor stage for cultural events, and a lawn plaza.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We ask for visitors’ understanding as we completely close the Achasan parking lot to create the Cultural Healing Plaza. Instead, we will transform the narrow and outdated parking lot and square into a Cultural Healing Plaza, providing visitors with a community space to enjoy leisure and culture.”
