A 93,000㎡ Park to Be Developed in Buk-myeon, Gapyeong-gun

A park covering an area of 93,000㎡ will be developed in the Buk-myeon area of Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi Province.

On June 10, Gyeonggi Province gave final approval and public notice for the Gapyeong-gun management plan and topographic map to establish the "US-UK Commonwealth Tourism Security Park" in Buk-myeon, Gapyeong-gun.

This decision on the county management plan is one of the preliminary administrative procedures to create a historical landmark space in connection with the Northern Mega Development Project currently being promoted by Gyeonggi Province.

Buk-myeon in Gapyeong-gun is an area where significant battles took place during the Korean War and is home to various historical resources, including monuments commemorating the participation of US and UK Commonwealth forces.

The park will be developed on approximately 93,000㎡ in the Buk-myeon area of Gapyeong-gun. It will feature exhibition facilities such as experiential and media exhibition halls, as well as community rest areas like forest healing shelters and observation decks, transforming the site into a multifunctional space that integrates history, culture, and relaxation.

Gapyeong-gun expects that, upon completion, the park will greatly enhance the quality of life for residents and generate significant economic ripple effects through its value as a tourism resource.

Following the decision on the county management plan, Gapyeong-gun will proceed with subsequent steps such as detailed design and commencement of construction necessary for the park's development.

Park Hyunseok, Director of Urban Policy at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "This park project goes beyond simply creating a green space; it is meaningful as it establishes a symbolic space that reflects the historical value and regional identity of northern Gapyeong. We will continue to actively provide administrative support for projects that residents can truly experience, in connection with the Northern Mega Development Project."
