Mapo-gu Bueongyi Neighborhood Park Hwangtotgil Opens April 1

Loess Trail for Barefoot Walking Opens at Bueong-i Neighborhood Park
Wildflower Garden Blooming All Year Round Created Around the Trail
Experience the Beauty of Nature in the Heart of the City

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) will create a loess path and other barefoot walking trails at Bueong-i Neighborhood Park (Sangam-dong 879) and begin operation from April 1.

This site features barefoot loess paths, barefoot masato (red clay) paths, and regular masato paths, allowing people of all ages and genders to choose according to their preference.

Additionally, various loess facilities have been added for diverse experiences, including a loess ball bath, dry loess foot bath, and wet loess foot bath.

Mapo-gu also paid close attention to improving the surrounding environment. The loess path is designed to circulate around a small pond, and nearby, yellow locust trees, tricolor bottlebrush trees, and common privet trees have been planted.

Along with this, to fully enjoy nature within the city, various flowers such as daffodils, campanulas, and spider lilies have been planted to create a wildflower garden that blooms beautifully throughout the four seasons.

Furthermore, to ensure a pleasant and safe use of the loess path, foot washing stations and shoe racks have been installed, and picnic tables have been placed for comfortable rest after exercise.

Mapo-gu expects that residents will be able to escape their tiring daily lives through barefoot walking on the loess path, enjoy leisure time with nature, relieve stress, and improve their health.

For users of the ‘Bueong-i Neighborhood Park Mom Cafe,’ which opened earlier on March 25, the barefoot loess path at Bueong-i Neighborhood Park will be managed with utmost care to become a special place not only for relaxation but also for strengthening bonds by enjoying nature with their children.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “The loess path will be a precious space beyond a simple walking trail, where people can connect with nature and find mental and physical stability,” adding, “Mapo-gu will continue to actively prepare various eco-friendly policies to further enhance the quality of life for residents.”
