Yangcheon-gu Neomdeundeul Park Renovation Completed

Wide and Comfortable Circular Walking Trail, Book Rest Area for Reading and Healing in Nature... Forest Experience Zone for Children to Play Freely, Forest Observation Deck Opening April 1

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) announced that Neomeundeul Park (Sinjeong-dong 1286) in Sinjeong 3-dong will be refurbished and opened on April 1.

Neomeundeul Park is adjacent to Nambusunhwan-ro and close to apartment complexes such as Pureunmaeul 4th Complex and Dongil Highvill, making it easily accessible. However, it was a dark space with dense hazardous trees like locust trees, and the facilities were old, so residents rarely visited.

The district invested 2 billion won starting from August last year to refurbish Neomeundeul Park with the theme of a "Healthy Neighborhood Forest" to provide residents with a safe and comfortable space to rest near their homes amid increasing depression due to COVID-19.

Neomeundeul Park, with a total area of 16,159.6㎡, completed construction at the end of March this year, has been transformed into a pleasant neighborhood park with a wide and comfortable circular walking trail, a book resting area filled with about 2,000 books, a basketball court, outdoor exercise facilities, and rest areas properly arranged.

In particular, hazardous locust trees that were at risk of falling were removed, and a 2-meter-wide circular path was created between the existing large trees, allowing residents to walk along a much brighter trail.

Under the forest where some hazardous trees were removed, 32,000 native flowers such as azaleas, forsythias, and lilyturf were additionally planted to provide a sense of the seasons.

At the park entrance, the "Neomeundeul Park Book Resting Area," built with a gable roof shaped like an open book, stands out. It houses about 2,000 books in various fields such as nature, literature, and children’s books, creating a space where anyone can comfortably rest or read.

The "Neomeundeul Park Book Resting Area," which will also host various ecological and cultural programs, will select an operating company and officially open in mid-April.

The district also created a forest experience area and an observation deck where children can freely play, installed 12 types of exercise facilities such as arm wrestling and full-body weightlifting, providing a space to build physical strength while breathing forest air. The existing basketball court was resurfaced with urethane, and the park restroom was newly constructed to ensure comfortable use by residents.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "In the post-COVID era, we have carefully prepared so that residents can enjoy comfortable rest and healing near their homes without going far. We hope this will become a space for residents’ healing and relaxation."
