Ssamji Park was created to expand the limited rest areas for residents, with a budget of 125 million won. The project involved removing existing trees and replacing old paving blocks.

For the 'Child Safety Green Forest', 200 million won was invested to plant approximately 700 trees of 8 species, including Acer palmatum, and about 2,500 plants of 13 flower species, including Yucca, along the sidewalk near Sanyang Elementary School. The 'Child Safety Green Forest' is a project to create an urban forest on sidewalks within children's protection zones to provide a healthy and safe environment for commuting to school.
