At the event, key figures including Seo Tae-won, Mayor of Gapyeong-gun, Han Mi-ok, Director of the Basin Management Bureau at the Hangang River Basin Environmental Office, Kim Kyung-soo, Chairman of the Gapyeong County Council, and about 50 local residents attended to celebrate the completion of the project. After the ceremony, attendees toured the newly developed waterside green space and experienced the walking trails.

This project was promoted based on a business agreement signed in May 2022 between Gapyeong-gun and the Hangang River Basin Environmental Office. The two organizations equally shared the project cost of approximately 1.8 billion KRW, utilizing land purchased by the Hangang Office with funds from the Hangang Watershed Management Fund.

As a result of the development, in Samhoe-ri, Cheongpyeong-myeon, facilities such as an expanded parking lot around the village hall, restrooms, children's playground equipment, an observatory, a lawn plaza, and walking trails were established. In Daeseongri, various green spaces were created, including rest areas, photo zones, and walking trails decorated with cosmos flowers and birch trees.

Gapyeong-gun and the Hangang River Basin Environmental Office plan to reinforce and build environmental education infrastructure in the already developed waterside green spaces through this joint project, as well as to redevelop the area into an eco-friendly space where various ecological experience services are possible. Through this, they aim to strengthen water quality improvement functions and contribute to increasing usability for residents.

At the completion ceremony, Mayor Seo Tae-won stated, “We will develop the newly completed Samhoe-Daeseongri waterside green space into a representative ecological resting place in the Hangang watershed that attracts visitors year-round,” and added, “We will actively communicate with residents and strive to operate and manage the waterside green space efficiently.”
