Creation of 'Jangmi Arch-gil,' a Walkable Path in Wirye New Town, Songpa-gu

400m Rose Path Created Along Wirye Lake Park Trail... 1.2 Billion Won Invested in Power Plant Surrounding Area Support Project... Cultural and Rest Spaces for Residents Established

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) is creating an approximately 400-meter-long 'Art Rose Archway Path (hereinafter Rose Path)' for residents in the Wirye New Town area, which relatively lacks cultural and recreational spaces.

This project reflects the wishes of local residents to make the Wirye area a landmark and revitalize the stagnant local commercial district.

The Rose Path will be established along the southern promenade of Wirye New Town Lake Park (around 395 Geoyeodong). As part of the support project for the area around the combined heat and power plant, 1.2 billion KRW will be invested, and it is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.

The district office explained that, considering the lack of cultural and recreational spaces for residents besides residential areas since the new town development, they decided to create a distinctive space after gathering opinions from residents and experts.

The Rose Path will be planted with various species of colorful roses to harmonize with the surrounding scenery.

In addition, unique sculptures and landscape lighting specific to the Wirye area, benches, and pergolas will be installed to make the Wirye area a landmark.

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “We have undertaken the creation of the Rose Archway Path so that residents of the Wirye area can enjoy rest and leisure in their daily lives,” adding, “We will make the Rose Archway Path a landmark to revitalize the local residents exhausted by COVID-19, attract outsiders, and help the stagnant local economy regain vitality.”
