The ‘Okjeong 1-dong Retention Basin Park’ had been an underutilized area left as idle land, but it was selected as the ‘2025 Okjeong 1-dong Autonomous Plan’ at the ‘2024 Okjeong 1-dong Residents’ General Assembly’ held last September.

In addition, reflecting citizens’ opinions requesting consideration for residents’ safety and leisure activities, it was adopted as a ‘2024 Resident Participatory Budget Project Proposal,’ signaling upcoming changes.

The meeting, chaired by Mayor Kang Su-hyun, was attended by Deputy Mayor Kim Jeong-min, related senior officials, and members of the Okjeong 1-dong Residents’ Autonomous Committee.

The meeting proceeded with a review report from the responsible department on the improvement plan for the Okjeong 1-dong Retention Basin Park and the installation of a park golf course utilizing the park site, followed by listening to opinions on retention basin improvements and an on-site inspection.

This year, the city plans to invest a total budget of 400 million KRW to carry out improvement projects for three retention basins in Okjeong-dong through continuous consultation with residents.

Mayor Kang Su-hyun stated, “We will actively listen to citizens’ opinions to improve the Okjeong-dong Retention Basin Park into a walking trail and sports park for the public,” and urged the relevant departments to “promptly devise systematic measures to prevent safety accidents related to the project planning and opening of the retention basin park.”
