Pyeongtaek 'Buyongsan Park' Urban Park Completed 48 Years After Designation

A total area of 49,295㎡... Pine Forest and Hwangto Road Created
Designated in 1975 but Construction Started Late in June Last Year

Designated as an urban park in 1975 but remaining an unexecuted facility for a long time, Buyongsan Park in Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do, was belatedly completed after 48 years.

Pyeongtaek City announced on the 8th that it officially opened Buyongsan Park, located in Paengseong-eup, after completing the construction work on the 7th.

Buyongsan Park is one of the long-term unexecuted park projects promoted by Pyeongtaek City. Although a park development plan was established in 2012, the project was delayed due to land compensation issues and only began construction in June last year.

Buyongsan Park was developed on an area of 49,295㎡. It is also a place where the value of the pine forest inhabiting the Buyongsan area is highly appreciated. At the completion ceremony, a plaque of appreciation was presented to Yoon Sang-gu, Vice Chairman of the International Rotary Foundation, as a token of gratitude to the family of former President Yoon Bo-seon for their contribution to the preservation of the pine trees.

The park features a 400-meter-long loess road named "Together in Health," and 400,000 purple Liriope muscari plants were planted.

Jung Jang-seon, Mayor of Pyeongtaek, said, "Buyongsan Park is a space ambitiously prepared by Pyeongtaek City to make the park a landmark," adding, "We will continue to do our best to return long-term unexecuted parks to the citizens."

Pyeongtaek City plans to actively promote the long-delayed long-term unexecuted park projects, starting with the completion of Buyongsan Park. To this end, construction work for four long-term unexecuted parks?Mosan, Eunsil, Deokdongsan, and Jisan Green Park?is scheduled to begin within this year.
