This project was selected as part of Gyeonggi Province's 'Citizen-Experience RE100 Park Creation Contest Utilizing Abandoned Riverbed Sites.' The city plans to develop the park with a total budget of 1.95 billion KRW, including 500 million KRW in provincial funds secured through the contest selection.

Solar panels will be installed to secure electricity, and energy culture experience spaces such as a renewable energy learning center and self-powered exercise equipment will be created. The park will also feature nighttime guide signs and landscape lighting linked to the solar power facilities.

The city aims to complete construction by December next year and plans to start the detailed design service next month. A city official stated, "After the project's completion, it will serve not only as a leisure space connected to the Geumseokcheon ecological river restoration project but also as an eco-friendly educational site through energy experiences such as self-powered exercise equipment."
