A Ground Fountain to Be Installed at the Gunmin Square in Front of Haenam-gun Office

Water Play Area Remodeling: Lighting and Music Fountain... Completion Scheduled for Second Half of This Year

Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do, will create a ground fountain in front of the county office citizen plaza.

According to the county on the 29th, the Haenam Citizen Plaza has a circular fountain that was created in 2002, but after more than 20 years, the facility has aged, and since the opening of the new office building, there have been limitations in accessibility as a waterfront space. Therefore, facility improvements are being promoted to create a citizen-friendly open space.

The creation of the ground fountain is a long-awaited project raised through citizen proposals. The existing fountain will be remodeled into a ground-type fountain, and safety will be improved to newly renovate it into a waterfront space that anyone in the community can enjoy.

In particular, the ground fountain is planned to be constructed using the latest technology where lighting and music are controlled simultaneously with the fountain's water jets. It will provide a fantastic nighttime spectacle combining water play, light, and music, making it a healing attraction enjoyed not only by residents but also by tourists.

The current circular fountain will be replaced with a round ground fountain inspired by the camellia flower, the symbol flower of Haenam-gun, and a linear fountain with a waterway extending downward will also have its floor reinforced for safe water play. A total of 65 meters of ground fountains with lighting and music will be created. Construction is scheduled to begin in March and is expected to be completed around August.

A county official stated, “With the creation of the ground fountain, the citizen plaza will be reborn as a beloved space for healing and cultural arts. We will ensure safe and swift construction to minimize inconvenience to residents so that the ground fountain at the citizen plaza can be enjoyed in the second half of this year.”
