A Small Park to Be Created on Vacant Land in Front of Sanggal Station, Yongin

Yongin City Installs Solar Pergolas and Benches

A small park equipped with solar-powered benches will be created on a vacant lot in front of Sanggal Station on the Suin-Bundang Line in Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do.

Yongin City announced on the 3rd that it plans to establish an eco-friendly small park using renewable energy by May next year on the vacant lot at 465-1, Sanggal-dong, Giheung-gu.

The vacant lot in front of Sanggal Station is a railway site left undeveloped during the construction of the Suin-Bundang Line. To develop the park, the city signed a land use agreement with the National Railroad Park and secured a maintenance budget of 250 million KRW through Gyeonggi-do's 'Small Park Environment Creation Project' contest. The Small Park Environment Creation Project aims to expand green infrastructure and improve urban landscapes by utilizing renewable energy to enhance park environments within the city.

The city plans to install a pergola with mobile phone charging functions, heated benches, and lighting using solar energy in the newly created small park. After completing the design, the city intends to finish the project by May next year.

A Yongin City official said, "We hope to secure green space lacking in apartment-dense areas and create a local landmark."
