More urban parks will be added in Ulsan.

Although the area of parks nationwide is significantly decreasing due to the implementation of the Urban Park Sunset Policy, Ulsan City announced on the 10th that it is actively undertaking the "2023 Urban Green Space Creation Project" with a large-scale budget.

This year's major urban green space creation projects in the Ulsan area include △ Samsan Landfill Buffer Green Space Creation Project △ Urban Living Park Creation Project △ Namsan-ro Cultural Plaza Creation Project.

A total project cost of 82.3 billion KRW will be invested, and the total green space area will be approximately 304,431㎡.

The "Samsan Landfill Buffer Green Space Creation Project" is a project to create green space and a park golf course (36 to 54 holes) covering 226,653㎡ around Taehwagang Station in Nam-gu, with a total project cost of 44.6 billion KRW, scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025.

With the active cooperation of Lotte Fine Chemical, which currently owns 99% of the entire land, land compensation and transfer registration have been completed, and construction is expected to begin in the second half of 2024.

The "Urban Living Park Creation Project" will invest a total of 8.2 billion KRW. This project is being carried out at four locations: Muji Park and Hamwol Park in Jung-gu, Sincheon Park in Buk-gu, and Seonbawi Park in Ulju-gun.

Among these, Hamwol Park (3,800㎡) was completed in June as a wildflower garden and resting garden, and Seonbawi Park (38,000㎡) was completed in December as a four-season themed garden.

Muji Park (13,600㎡) is planned to be created as a waterfront and children’s themed space by June 2024, and Sincheon Park (2,300㎡) is being developed as a natural ecological park.

The "Namsan-ro Cultural Plaza Creation Project," linked with Taehwagang National Garden, will invest a total of 29.5 billion KRW to establish a plaza covering 20,078㎡ in Mugeo-dong, Nam-gu.

This area currently has facilities such as a gas station operating on the site. The "Urban Planning Facility Decision Announcement" was made in May, and land compensation object investigation and compensation plan public notice were completed between July and September. Compensation will be completed in 2024, and the plaza is expected to be completed in 2025.

An official from Ulsan City said, "We will continue to make efforts to secure park green spaces to create a pleasant and fun city to live in."
