[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Ahead of the 2021 Hamyang Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Expo, the children's park near the thousand-year-old forest Hamyang Sangnim Park has been refurbished as a resting space for residents and tourists.

On the 7th at 2 p.m., Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province held a completion ceremony for the maintenance project at the children's park in Jukgok-ri, Hamyang-eup, attended by about 40 people including County Governor Seo Chun-soo, Chairman of the County Council Hwang Tae-jin, county council members, and heads of related organizations.

The completion ceremony was held in compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines and proceeded in the order of opening, progress report, presentation of appreciation plaques, commemorative and congratulatory speeches, and ribbon cutting.

The children's park maintenance project was promoted to provide facilities for children with a total project cost of 4 billion KRW, including 2.8 billion KRW in national funds, after being selected in the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs public contest in 2017.

The project officially began in April 2018, creating a 300m children's walking trail, a 735㎡ composite playground, playground facilities, seven large parasols, slides, flower moss planting, and convenience facilities, culminating in this completion ceremony.

The county expects that through the refurbishment of the children's park, it will serve as a resting place for children and families and play a role as another tourist attraction connecting the nearby sports complex, Yeomgiseong Carbonate Lead Recreation Area, and Sangnim Park.

Governor Seo said, “Today, we have newly renovated the space to provide a safe place where children can play freely,” adding, “We will continue to strive to create various spaces where children and families can enjoy and relax.”

Meanwhile, along with the refurbishment of the children's park, the government-approved international event ‘2021 Hamyang Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Expo’ will be held for 31 days from October 10 to October 10 in the Hamyang Sangnim and Daebongsan Healing Valley areas under the theme ‘Millennium Wild Ginseng, Dream of Life Extension.’
