After a pilot operation from the 6th to March, official opening from April

Busan's Gijang-gun recently completed the construction of the 'Cheolma Urban Agriculture Park' and will begin a pilot operation starting on the 6th.

'Cheolma Urban Agriculture Park' is Busan's first urban agriculture theme park, developed to provide opportunities for participation in urban agriculture and to expand the multifaceted value of agriculture. Gijang-gun invested a total project cost of 23 billion KRW to create the park on a 26,869㎡ area in Jangjeon-ri, Cheolma-myeon.

The Cheolma Urban Agriculture Park features various facilities including ▲Urban Agriculture Center ▲Citizen Allotment Gardens ▲Children’s Public Gardens ▲Native Farm ▲Lawn Plaza ▲Parking Lot, offering a diverse space where city residents can experience agriculture and nature.

In particular, through the operation of 'Allotment Gardens' for citizens and children, residents will be given opportunities to directly participate in agricultural activities, along with various related education and experience programs.

Additionally, as a special space where people can experience nature and agriculture up close, it is expected to contribute to fostering a healthy leisure culture and strengthening community bonds.

Jeong Jong-bok, the county governor, said, “I hope that Cheolma Urban Agriculture Park will not only provide residents with opportunities to experience agriculture but also become a place for communication among neighbors and generations, establishing itself as a representative urban agriculture cultural landmark in the community.”

After the pilot operation until March, Cheolma Urban Agriculture Park is scheduled to officially open in April. During the pilot period, the county plans to further expand park convenience facilities and complete interior construction of the Urban Agriculture Center, including a seed exhibition hall and experience rooms, to offer visitors a richer experience.
