Gwangju Nam-gu Opens Two Public Restrooms in Pureungil Park

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] A new public restroom has opened for residents along the walking trail in Pureungil Park, Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

Nam-gu announced on the 3rd that it has newly constructed one public restroom to allow residents visiting Pureungil Park to comfortably use the neighborhood park, and signed a business agreement with Bigspo, which operates a store near the walking trail, to open one restroom operated there as well.

The newly built public restroom is located near Cheongrojeong in Juwol-dong.

This public restroom was built in response to residents' requests. Until now, residents using the Pureungil Park walking trail have experienced great inconvenience due to the lack of public restrooms in the section from Dongseong High School in Jinwol-dong to near Baegun Square.

To resolve residents' inconvenience, Nam-gu requested Gwangju City to build a public restroom in Pureungil Park, investing 150 million KRW in the project, and recently completed the construction.

The facility was designed to meet BF (Barrier-Free) certification standards to ensure that socially vulnerable groups, such as people with disabilities, can use the restroom without difficulty. Separate spaces for men and women were installed, each equipped with urinals, toilets, and washbasins.

This public restroom operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Additionally, the restroom outside the building operated by Bigspo will also be opened to residents.

To this end, Nam-gu recently signed a business agreement with Bigspo and decided to deploy management personnel for the operation of the Bigspo restroom. It can be used from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and weekends.

A Nam-gu official stated, “We will do our best to provide a clean and pleasant park environment for residents using Pureungil Park.”
