Jeonju City to Begin Construction of 'Garden Forest' at Comprehensive Stadium in March

A Total of 2.7 Billion Won Invested by Year-End... Theme Forest Created on Archery Range Site Behind Baseball Stadium

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hanho] The blueprint for the "Garden Forest," the first to be created in the "Citizen's Forest 1963" project, a site regeneration project for Jeonju Sports Complex, has been revealed.

On the 10th, Jeonju City held the "Final Design Service Report Meeting for the Creation of Jeonju Sports Complex Garden Forest" at the Citizen's Forest Promotion Center and project site, attended by Jeonju Mayor Kim Seung-su and Jeonju Chief Landscape Architect Choi Seon-hyun, among others.

Among the five forests of the entire sports complex (Garden Forest, Gourmet Forest, MICE Forest, Art Forest, Play Forest), the "Garden Forest," which will be created first, covers about 8,000㎡ of the site including the garbage truck garage next to the baseball stadium and the relocated archery range site.

Construction is scheduled to begin next month, with a total project cost of 2.7 billion KRW to be invested by the end of this year.

The design plan for the "Garden Forest" aims to transform this place, layered with Jeonju's time and citizens' memories, into a garden of remembrance and a harmonious garden for citizens and children to enjoy together.

The entire space is largely composed of three themes: △ Garden capturing the scenery △ Flower hill forest △ Path embracing the yard.

First, the "Garden capturing the scenery" will form a strong axis connecting the entire Citizen's Forest, featuring a field garden, mirror pond, ground fountain, and stone wall path.

Also, the "Flower hill forest," adjacent to the garden capturing the scenery, will be created as a forest where the beauty of flowers can be felt, filled with a rain garden, garden with hills, tree-lined street, and purple garden.

The "Path embracing the yard" will be developed as a space for various activities in connection with the Art Forest to be created at the sports complex baseball stadium, including a white garden, hill path, and wide yard.

Jeonju City plans to proceed with administrative procedures reflecting the discussions from the final report meeting and the opinions of the Citizen's Forest 1963 expert advisory group, start construction in March, and complete the creation of the "Garden Forest" by the end of this year.
