Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province will invest 3 billion KRW by June next year to expand the parking lot and experiential healing spaces within Jungang Park (65 Sunae-dong, Bundang-gu).

Seongnam City announced on the 16th that as part of the 8th term mayoral pledge projects, it has prepared the "Basic Plan for Jungang Park Parking Lot Expansion and Remodeling Project" and will hold a residents' briefing session at the Bundang District Office's main conference room on the 22nd.

Jungang Park is a neighborhood park created during the construction of Bundang New Town in the 1990s, preserving the terrain and forest resources, covering a total area of 420,982 square meters.

The city will first expand the parking space in Jungang Park from a single row with 96 spaces to a double row with 236 spaces. This will be done by widening the current width of 15 to 20 meters by about 4 meters, adding 140 parking spaces.

A 1.2 km long circular loess trail will also be created along the park's walking and hiking paths, allowing visitors to walk barefoot.

Nearby, a participatory tree observation forest and resting area will be established by planting seasonal flowers and trees to serve as a natural learning and educational space.

The city plans to incorporate opinions gathered from the residents' briefing session into the Jungang Park remodeling plan.

A city official stated, "Jungang Park's parking lot is narrow and congested, so expanding parking spaces is a long-standing wish of the residents," adding, "Through remodeling, we will develop the park into a place where citizens can enjoy nature within the city."
