Pohang City Holds On-site Meeting to Discuss Creation of Luxury Memorial Park

On the 24th, Pohang Mayor Lee Kangdeok visited the Nultaeri area of Guryongpo in Nam-gu, the site designated for the Pohang City Memorial Park project, together with about 100 senior public officials to discuss support measures to ensure the facility is developed as a premium landmark.

The Pohang City Memorial Park, with a project budget of 46.1 billion KRW, is scheduled for completion by the end of 2028. The city plans to develop 330,000 square meters (100,000 pyeong) into a themed memorial park featuring burial facilities, a Forest of Contemplation, trekking courses around the park, and various cultural spaces, aiming to create a 'premium funeral culture park.'

The more than 100 public officials who visited the site examined the surrounding terrain of the planned area, listened to a project briefing from the responsible department, and discussed ideas and measures for departmental support to ensure the project's success.

To support the Guryongpo area, which was selected as the project site for the memorial park, Pohang City has formed a Memorial Park Promotion Support Team to actively identify tailored support projects by department. At the same time, a 'resident council' involving local residents is being established to accelerate the creation of a comprehensive development plan for mutual growth with the community.

Mayor Lee Kangdeok stated, "We will make the memorial park a model case of successful collaboration between the city and local residents in establishing an essential urban facility," and added, "We will pool all our wisdom to create not just a simple funeral facility, but the best premium funeral culture park that can enhance the quality of life for citizens and transform the city's image."

Pohang City is holding an on-site meeting at the memorial park site and taking a commemorative photo.
