The City of Incheon has constructed a 'skywalk' with a width of 1.8 meters and a length of 310 meters at Subong Park in Michuhol-gu, and will open it to the public starting this month.


According to the city on March 5, the skywalk was built at a cost of 5.5 billion won and is designed to offer views of the cityscape from the upper part of the park. Depending on the terrain, this facility is installed at heights of up to 20 meters and is designed to give visitors the experience of walking in the air.


Visitors can enjoy a 360-degree view of the beautiful natural scenery and the Incheon city center. The skywalk, together with existing nighttime landscape lighting and artificial waterfalls, is expected to become a landmark scenic spot representing the region.

Together with Jayu Park, Subong Park is one of Incheon's iconic parks and is situated across the Dohwa, Juan, Yonghyeon, and Sungui-dong areas in Michuhol-gu, covering 332,000 square meters. The park's development began in earnest when the City of Incheon erected a memorial tower at the summit of Subongsan Mountain in 1972 to honor the spirits of 379 soldiers who died in the Korean War, followed by the installation of landscaping and convenience facilities in the plaza in 1976.



In 1979, the then Ministry of Health and Welfare built a memorial tower within the park to commemorate the participation of Korean student volunteer soldiers residing in Japan. Since then, various rest and sports facilities and landscape lighting have been added, establishing the park as a leisure facility for citizens.
