On July 7th, a residents' briefing session on the Namsan Park development project was held for about 100 residents to gather diverse opinions, which were reflected in the detailed design, including the creation of shaded forests and grassy hills.


The Namsan Park development project will invest 3 billion KRW from the 2024 Korea Forest Service Climate Response Urban Forest Contest fund to realize themed spaces such as the Hydrangea Garden representing summer, the Four Seasons Garden, and the Winter Garden.


Additionally, large trees will be planted along walking paths and grassy hills to provide cool shaded forests, allowing residents to enjoy rest and leisure throughout the year.


For autumn attractions, the barefoot walking trail, created alongside the cosmos flower field in Namsan Park, has received unexpected positive responses from residents. As a result, about a 1km section of the barefoot walking path has been incorporated into the Namsan Park development project, which is expected to contribute to the health improvement of residents.



Governor Kubokgyu stated, “Namsan Park will be developed as a forest that can provide natural benefits for the next 100 years and for future generations. We will do our best to create a park with distinctive features for each season, making it a popular destination not only for residents but also for people from nearby cities.” He added, “We will actively consider introducing festival programs to revitalize the Namsan Park commercial district.”
