The 'Wangbaesan Barrier-Free Sharing Trail' was created to improve the difficulty of using walking paths for vulnerable pedestrians such as people with disabilities, the elderly, and pregnant women, due to the steep slopes and uneven surfaces in the center of Dongtan 2 New City.

The trail is equipped with wooden decks, eco-friendly forest paths, rest areas for forest experiences, and convenience facilities. The city plans to provide various attractions by setting up art exhibitions and themed zones here to support convenient and safe forest experience activities for vulnerable pedestrians and to offer a resting space within the urban area.

Jung Myung-geun, mayor of Hwaseong City, said, "The Wangbaesan Barrier-Free Sharing Trail is the first barrier-free walking trail established in Hwaseong City," adding, "We will also put great effort into managing it so that citizens can use it comfortably and safely."
