Geumcheon-gu Geumbit Park Reborn as a Cultural, Sports, and Leisure Hub

Created as an Open Park for All Residents with Plaza-Style Landscaping and Exercise Equipment
'Malgeunnuri Small Library' on the Ground Floor and 'Geumbit Fitness Center' Underground Reopen After Renovation

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon) announced that Geumbit Park will be transformed into a resting space with books, and a completion ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. on March 27.

Geumbit Park was one of Geumcheon-gu's representative parks with an outdoor performance hall when it was created in 2006. However, due to noise issues, the use of the performance hall became difficult, leading to residents' demands for redevelopment. The district demolished the outdoor performance hall in 2023 and carried out park redevelopment work, which was completed in March this year.

The newly renovated Geumbit Park has been transformed into a plaza-style landscaped space including Geumbit Madang, Central Rose Garden, and Lawn Madang, where anyone can comfortably relax.

Additionally, various exercise equipment has been installed to support residents' healthy leisure activities.

Facilities within the park have also been extensively refurbished. On the ground floor, the 'Malgeunnuri Small Library' relocated and reopened as a space where visitors can enjoy reading amidst nature. Underground, the 'Geumbit Fitness Center,' equipped with a gym, golf practice range, and multipurpose rooms, has reopened.

The Malgeunnuri Small Library features a full glass wall on one side, allowing visitors to enjoy the park's scenery while reading. It operates as an open cultural space with over 10,000 books. Outside the library, an outdoor theater where visitors can watch movies while sitting on benches has been established, making it a complex cultural space harmonizing with the park.

The Geumbit Fitness Center has been reborn as a space supporting residents' healthy lifestyles, equipped with the latest body composition analyzers, high-resolution golf screens, and various exercise equipment. In addition to the gym, various programs such as Zumba, yoga, and Pilates will also be offered.

Yoo Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “Geumbit Park was created to provide a space where local residents can comfortably rest and engage in various cultural and artistic activities. We will continue to improve the urban living environment to make the city a better place for residents to live.”
