Yangcheon-gu Completes 1.26km Circular Barrier-Free Forest Trail at Jiyangsan

Extension of 350m Deck Path Connecting Existing Forest Trails to Create a 1.26km Circular Barrier-Free Forest Trail
Additional Lighting Installation on Jiyangsan Deck Path Planned for Safe Nighttime Use in the Second Half of the Year

Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced that it has completed the third phase of the barrier-free forest trail construction at Jiyangsan in Sinwol 7-dong (around Sinwol-dong 331-5) and opened a total of 1.26 km of circular barrier-free forest trail to residents.

The barrier-free forest trail is a walking path designed to allow mobility-vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities, the elderly, and stroller users to enjoy extensive forest welfare. The trail is over 2 meters wide and has a slope of less than 8%.

Previously, the district expanded a 910-meter-long barrier-free forest trail through the first and second phases of construction at Jiyangsan. This year, as the final stage, a 350-meter deck path connecting the existing barrier-free forest trails was extended, completing a total of 1.26 km of circular barrier-free forest trail.

Additionally, the area near the entrance toward Yangcheon Middle School was redeveloped from old facilities into a flower bed, planting 25 shrubs such as thuja (Mungrow, Forever Gold) and 18 types of flowers including astilbe and Evergold, creating a garden that offers various sights throughout the four seasons. Furthermore, a non-slip facility was installed on the existing 910-meter barrier-free forest trail section to ensure safe use during rainy weather and winter.

In the second half of the year, lighting will be additionally installed on the newly constructed barrier-free forest trail (deck path) section to allow residents to safely use the trail even after sunset.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, "We will continue to expand and improve the barrier-free forest trails so that mobility-vulnerable groups can enjoy nature without inconvenience," adding, "We will do our best to create an environment where all residents can enjoy green spaces within the city."
