Reorganization of Somang Children's Park in Muk 2-dong, Jungnang-gu

As part of the Muk2-dong Urban Regeneration Activation Project, Somang Children's Park will be renovated by November... Usable regardless of weather with shade shelters, airplane-shaped combination playground equipment installed

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi) is renewing the aging Somang Children's Park as part of the Muk 2-dong urban regeneration revitalization project.

This project will invest 1 billion KRW out of the 25 billion KRW seed money budget allocated for the Muk 2-dong urban regeneration revitalization. After collecting residents' opinions last year and conducting the design, construction will proceed from this month through November.

The biggest feature of the newly transformed Somang Children's Park is the installation of shade shelters, allowing children to play freely regardless of weather conditions such as snow or rain.

Additionally, moving away from the existing monotonous playground facilities, an airplane-shaped combination play structure will be installed to stimulate children's imagination. The play structure will be made from eco-friendly materials such as acacia wood, ensuring safety and peace of mind for both parents and children.

The park floor will be covered with grass mats, and rose flower beds and landscape lighting will be installed throughout the area.

Along with this, a resting area for guardians and exercise equipment will be provided, creating a community space where local residents can comfortably gather and communicate.

Muk 2-dong, selected as an urban regeneration revitalization area in 2017, secured 25 billion KRW in seed money after being chosen as a New Deal project by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in 2018.

Based on this, the district plans to establish various shared facilities for residents and improve alleyway landscapes by 2022, creating a vibrant urban space.

Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi of Jungnang-gu said, "Once the construction of Somang Children's Park is completed, it will become a playground where children want to play every day and a pleasant resting space for adults," adding, "We will continue to create various children's spaces so that our children can freely pursue their dreams."

Last year, the district invested 1.2 billion KRW in special grants for the renovation of children's parks, refurbishing four aging playgrounds including Haetsal (Myeonmok 2-dong) and Kkotpiul (Sinnae 2-dong) Children's Parks.
