Repair and maintenance of hiking trail stairs and loess path foot washing facilities, providing attractions through planting maple trees

Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) is undertaking maintenance and repairs to improve the environment of Baebongsan Neighborhood Park, a beloved representative resting place in the district.

Baebongsan Neighborhood Park is a green leisure space featuring various facilities such as a barefoot clay trail, a children's forest experience area, an outdoor stage, a forest library, as well as badminton courts and exercise equipment. However, the park's walking paths have become worn out over many years of use by residents, leading to safety hazards and inconvenience, which has resulted in numerous complaints requesting maintenance.

In response, the district has secured 700 million KRW in special grants and is currently carrying out repair and maintenance projects to remove hazards and improve facilities, with plans to complete the construction by December.

The main maintenance tasks include ▲ installing and repairing safety railings on Baebongsan hiking trails ▲ installing drainage systems ▲ refurbishing the clay trail foot-washing facilities ▲ installing pergolas and exercise equipment ▲ planting maple trees to provide autumn scenery. Additionally, the old wooden stairs along the walking trail will be repaired to create a safer environment for strolls.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “Through this maintenance project, we hope Baebongsan Neighborhood Park will become a safer and more pleasant healing space for our residents.” He added, “We will continue to gradually renovate aging parks in the area to make Dongdaemun-gu a better place to live.”
