Yongin City to Construct Public Parking Lots Under Three Local Parks

Expectations to Alleviate Parking Shortages in Residential and Commercial Dense Areas such as Yeokbuk Cultural Park, Anmaeul Park, and Towol Park

A large-scale public parking lot will be built beneath three parks in the Yongin area of Gyeonggi Province.

Yongin City announced on the 21st that starting next year, it will invest 33.6 billion KRW to create public parking lots beneath three parks: ▲ Yeokbuk Cultural Park in Yeokbuk-dong, Cheoin-gu ▲ Anmaeul Park in Gugal-dong, Giheung-gu ▲ Towol Park in Pungdeokcheon-dong, Suji-gu, to alleviate parking difficulties in densely populated residential and commercial areas.

To this end, the Yongin City Council approved the city's plan titled 'Yongin City Public Property Management Plan (Draft)' at the plenary session held the day before.

On a 2,880㎡ site near Suji District Office in the Towol Park area of Pungdeokcheon-dong, an underground parking lot with two basement levels and 116 parking spaces will be constructed. A total of 16.7 billion KRW will be invested in the project. Previously, during the 7th mayoral term, there was a plan to build a parking lot with 65 spaces on one basement level at Towol Park, but Mayor Lee Sang-il judged that the existing plan would not sufficiently solve the parking problem, so the city explained that the plan was expanded to two basement levels with 116 spaces, roughly doubling the capacity.

Under Yeokbuk Cultural Park in Yeokbuk-dong, a parking lot with 125 spaces will be built with a budget of 8.4 billion KRW. Anmaeul Park in Gugal-dong will also have a two-basement-level parking lot with 127 spaces constructed, with an investment of 8.5 billion KRW.

Mayor Lee said, "If we make good use of the underground space of parks, we can solve the parking difficulties in densely populated areas," and added, "We will continue to secure budgets to provide parking spaces in the future."
