The Daegu Grand Park development project is a public development initiative promoted by Daegu Urban Development Corporation, selected as the private park promoter under the “Act on Urban Parks and Green Areas” to prevent uncontrolled development and reduction of urban green spaces after the expiration of the 30-year long unexecuted urban planning facility decision by Daegu City (July 2020).

Of the total project area of 1,625,000㎡, 1,350,000㎡ (83.1%) will be developed as park facilities such as a zoo and forest leisure facilities, and 275,000㎡ (16.9%) will be developed as non-park facilities including 3,000 apartment units. The park facilities are scheduled to be completed by 2027.

The park facilities within Daegu Grand Park will include a newly established zoo designed with animal welfare in mind, relocating the Dalseong Park Zoo, which was established in 1970, to this site.

Additionally, the non-park facilities will include 3,000 apartment units, an elementary school, a kindergarten, and public facilities such as a library. The apartment complex was selected through a competition process by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the basic and detailed designs are currently underway. It is expected that by 2026, apartments in two sales complexes totaling 1,800 units will be available for sale.
