Is Chunhyang Higher Than the Swing? ... Busan Gijang-gun Unveils the Longest Traditional Swing in Bu-Ul-Gyeong at Jungang Park Lawn Plaza

On the afternoon of the 7th, Oh Gyu-seok, the mayor of Gijang-gun, visited the lawn square of 'Jungang Park' in Jeonggwan-eup and tried pushing the large traditional swing, which is the tallest in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam area.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] "Chunhyang is going to rush over!" The tallest traditional swing in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam has appeared in Busan.

On the 7th, Gijang-gun, Busan, opened a large swing measuring 6 meters in height and 4.5 meters in width at the lawn plaza of 'Jungang Park' in Jeonggwan-eup.

Jungang Park in the downtown area of Jeonggwan-eup is a 21,000㎡ neighborhood park focused on culture and leisure, featuring a large 8,200㎡ lawn plaza.

The lawn plaza is a community cultural space where performances, festivals, and cultural events are held, and it is a representative park of Gijang visited by many residents who enjoy rest and picnics.

There were many opinions that Jungang Park lacked sufficient attractions such as children's playground facilities relative to its size. Gijang-gun invested about 50 million KRW to provide visual attractions and playground facilities for family visitors by installing the tallest large traditional swing in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam area, along with Jangseung (traditional Korean totem poles) and Sotdae (wooden poles with birds). It was created to allow people to enjoy traditional culture in the city center.

Additionally, to ensure safety and comfort during nighttime, a budget of over 200 million KRW was secured to install 55 large park lights by April. Jungang Park in Jeonggwan will be designed as a 'CPTED' (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) park.

Oh Gyu-seok, the mayor of Gijang-gun, said, "Local parks are healing spaces visited by many residents, so we will continue to introduce various convenience facilities and playground equipment in Jungang Park and other parks to make them spaces that everyone can enjoy."
