The area along Anyangcheon, which passes through four regions in Gyeonggi Province?Gwangmyeong, Anyang, Gunpo, and Uiwang?will be developed into a 'local garden' following Yangpyeong Semiwon.

A local garden is a garden created by local governments under the 'Act on the Creation and Promotion of Arboretums and Gardens.' Currently, the only local garden in Gyeonggi Province is Yangpyeong's 'Semiwon.' Once designated as a local garden, the respective local government will directly manage it and be able to connect areas separated by roads and rivers.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 25th that the Korea Forest Service approved the designation of the Anyangcheon local garden development site on the 21st.

The Anyangcheon local garden will cover an area of 397,520㎡ with a length of 28.8 km, jointly developed by the cities of Gwangmyeong, Anyang, Gunpo, and Uiwang.

The section lengths and main plans for the four cities are as follows: ▲Gwangmyeong City (9.5 km) ? Garden Management Center, Garden Playground, Herb Garden ▲Anyang City (12.2 km) ? Senior Citizen Rest Area, Vertical Greening ▲Gunpo City (3.6 km) ? Aquatic Plant Garden ▲Uiwang City (3.5 km) ? Silver Grass Garden.

Following the approval of the designation of the Anyangcheon local garden development site, detailed design work for the local garden construction will proceed this year. Subsequently, the garden creation plan will be approved by Gyeonggi Province, and construction will begin. The local garden will be operational starting in 2028.

The province expects that the creation of the Anyangcheon local garden will establish a garden city brand, continuously attract visitors, and revitalize the local economy.

Seol Jong-jin, Director of the Garden Industry Division of the province, stated, "We anticipate a differentiated local garden along Anyangcheon, which crosses the four cities of Gwangmyeong, Anyang, Gunpo, and Uiwang, where leisure and culture coexist and the city, garden, and river harmonize."
