Suwon City Conducts Site Inspection of 'Yeongheung Park' Ahead of Completion at the End of August

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province is set to conduct a preliminary inspection of the facilities for the 'Yeongheung Park Private Development Project,' which is scheduled for completion at the end of this month.

On the 5th, Suwon City announced that inspection teams from each department will carry out on-site inspections of Yeongheung Park, which is nearing completion on the 10th, divided into ▲infrastructure (roads, stormwater drainage pipes, water supply facilities, ecological bridges, non-point pollution reduction facilities) ▲park facilities (development spaces, gymnasium, jokgu court, parking lot) ▲arboretum facilities (visitor center, exhibition greenhouse, development spaces, other facilities).

The city will gather opinions from the inspection departments and then proceed with the final handover to the project implementer.

Yeongheung Park is a neighborhood park designated as a park facility in June 1969. Due to financial burdens, more than 90% of the park area remained undeveloped for a long time. In January 2016, Suwon City became the first in the nation to introduce the 'Private Park Special Project' method, which develops parks using private capital, in accordance with the 'Act on Urban Parks and Green Areas.' The Yeongheung Park Private Development Project, which creates an arboretum and park, is scheduled for completion at the end of August.

The neighborhood park will feature a health yard, gymnasium, forest playground for children, a rainwater garden utilizing the existing valley terrain, and a children's ecological theme forest with various experiential spaces in the woods.

The arboretum will have spaces where visitors can enjoy the changing forest scenery each season with flowers, autumn leaves, and fruits, and the exhibition greenhouse will be planted with subtropical plants not found in Korea.
