Suwon Yeongheung Park, Renamed 'Yeongheung Forest Park' After Public Contest

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province will change the name of Yeongheung Park to "Yeongheung Supgongwon," which was selected through a public contest.

On the 16th, Suwon City announced that it held a public contest for renaming Yeongheung Park in December last year and selected five candidate names including Yeongheung Supgongwon in January this year. After an online preference survey, "Yeongheung Supgongwon" received the highest score and was chosen as the winning name.

The city will finalize the new name after administrative procedures such as changing the park development plan.

A city official stated, "The new name will be used on various facilities such as park signboards," and added, "We will carry out the project without any setbacks to make Yeongheung Supgongwon a premium park representing Suwon City."

Yeongheung Park, located at 303 Woncheon-dong, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon, is a neighborhood park designated as a park facility in June 1969. The area reaches 506,800㎡, equivalent to the size of 70 soccer fields. The private development project for creating an arboretum and park at Yeongheung Park is progressing smoothly with a target completion date of August this year.
