Najeon Station, which retains the nostalgic atmosphere of an old small station with attractions such as 'Maenggeuljang' and the 'Najeon Station Cafe,' has long been loved by many visitors. Through this project, the county renovated the aging facilities and transformed the area into a new cultural and tourism hub equipped with systematic infrastructure.

The county invested a total project budget of 890 million won (50% from the national government, 15% from the provincial government, and 35% from the county) to develop the Najeon Station Theme Park at 202 Bukpyeong-ri, Bukpyeong-myeon. Starting with the detailed design service in 2023, the first phase of park site construction was completed at the end of last year, followed by the completion of the second phase, which included landscaping and facility installation, this year.

The newly developed theme park features an outdoor parking lot, a waterway facility, restrooms, 10 security lights, and 11 benches. In addition, green spaces and rest areas with planted trees and grass have been created, transforming the site into a pleasant and convenient relaxation space for both residents and tourists.

The county expects that the Najeon Station Theme Park, as a new tourism resource linked to railroad culture, will boost local vitality and significantly contribute to improving residents' living environments.

After completion, management of the park will be handled by the Bukpyeong-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, ensuring continuous and efficient operation.

Shin Wonsun, Director of Tourism, stated, "Najeon Station Theme Park has been reborn as a new cultural and tourism attraction that blends the charm of the old small station with modern amenities. We will continue to develop it as a space that can be enjoyed by both residents and visitors, making every effort to ensure that Najeon Station becomes a hub for local revitalization."
