Creation of Eoryong Rose Embankment Rest Area at Pocheoncheon Blueway

Pocheon City is partially opening the Eoryong-dong Jangmi Embankment Rest Shelter, one of the campaign promises of the 8th term of the elected government’s project, the ‘Pocheoncheon Blueway Development Project.’

Pocheon City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Baek Young-hyun) has partially opened the Eoryong-dong Jangmi Embankment Rest Area, one of the projects under the 8th term public pledge "Pocheoncheon Blueway Development Project," and plans to complete the installation of restrooms by the end of November.

This Jangmi Embankment Rest Area development project is aimed at improving convenience for citizens using the riverside by investing 328 million KRW to create a rest area with a land area of approximately 3,903㎡. The city began construction in March and has established five types of exercise equipment including stretching devices, Jangmi Park, an LED clock tower, a lawn garden, and shaded rest areas.

Considering the inconvenience caused by the lack of restrooms when citizens walk along the riverside or relax in the waterfront space, the city plans to complete restroom installation by the end of November. Since the facility is located on the upper road of the river embankment, to eliminate detours, stairs directly connecting the river and the Eoryong-dong Jangmi Embankment Rest Area will also be constructed.

A local resident said, "It was inconvenient because there was no rest area for residents around the river, but thanks to the establishment of the embankment rest area, the quality of life has improved."

Mayor Baek Young-hyun of Pocheon said, "Pocheoncheon plays an important role as the backbone of Pocheon City," and added, "We will promote various projects to improve living conditions for citizens and create a Pocheoncheon that all citizens can enjoy."
