First, the city will equip the lawn square with folding tables and bean bag sofas so that citizens can enjoy lunchtime outings. Speakers have also been installed in the square so visitors can listen to music. On this day, Park Seungwon, mayor of Gwangmyeong, had lunch and communicated with employees on the lawn square.

On the 16th, the "Gwangmyeong Hope Market," organized by the Gwangmyeong Hope Sharing Movement Headquarters, will take place. This event was originally held in a small space near Cheolsan Station on Subway Line 7, but the city decided to open the lawn square to the organizers to help spread the culture of supporting neighbors.

On June 7, the Gwangmyeong Municipal Nongak Troupe will hold a traditional music performance titled "Nori:Pan" at the lawn square in front of city hall. For this event, the city plans to eliminate the boundary between the stage and the audience, engaging directly with citizens and showcasing the excellence of traditional music and games such as Sogo-nori, Saja-nori, and Beokku-chum.

The city plans to continue operating the lawn square as an open space by regularly hosting a variety of cultural events, including music, reading, and exhibitions.

Mayor Park stated, "Going forward, the lawn square in front of city hall will be operated as an open space where anyone can freely enjoy nature and relaxation, even in the midst of a busy city."
