The city plans to review the suggestions made at the briefing, which was attended by over 100 people including Kim Kyunghee, Mayor of Icheon City, city council members, experts, and Yul-myeon residents, and reflect them in the design services and other project stages.

The "Pet Theme Park" will be developed on a site of approximately 90,000 square meters at San 28-2, Wolpo-ri, Yul-myeon. The city aims to create the theme park as an open cultural space that can be used by all local residents and help bridge the cultural gap between urban and rural areas.

The theme park will be established as a multi-purpose cultural space combining culture, education, and relaxation. Within the park, there will be resort-style spaces such as campsites and walking trails, experiential areas including a pet playground, agility facilities, a dog show arena, and a multipurpose plaza, as well as convenience facilities such as a management office and parking lots.

The city is also considering building festival-related infrastructure such as a lawn plaza, a large parking lot, and an outdoor performance stage to host events like the "Icheon Pet Festival." Additionally, they are reviewing educational programs for kindergarten and elementary school students, as well as pet etiquette education programs.

Mayor Kim stated, "We will do our utmost to ensure that Icheon City becomes a leading city in pet culture and industry through the construction of this theme park."
