The Sacheon Wood Culture Experience Center was created as an experiential forest culture facility in connection with the Sacheon Cable Car Natural Recreation Forest, which has become established as a new healing tourism destination. It is designed to provide citizens and tourists with a space to learn about and experience wood culture.

This project was launched after being finally selected for the 'Wood Culture Experience Center Construction Project', a local transfer contest project by the Korea Forest Service in 2022. From 2023 to 2026, a total project cost of approximately 6.8 billion won was invested to construct the center with a total floor area of 1,161㎡.

The center features hands-on facilities utilizing wood, such as a woodworking experience room, a woodcraft workshop, and a laser experience zone, allowing visitors to directly touch, feel, and interact with wood.

In particular, various play and exhibition facilities have been prepared for children and families, including the Forest Maru Book Café, Agabyeol Playroom, Eunha Water Playground, Wood Playground, and Wood Exhibition Room.

The city plans to offer a variety of experiences to visitors by linking the center with other programs and facilities at the Sacheon Cable Car Natural Recreation Forest, such as forest interpretation and early childhood forest education programs, as well as the net adventure facility.

A city official stated, "With the establishment of the Sacheon Cable Car Natural Recreation Forest Wood Culture Experience Center, we are able to provide citizens and tourists with a wealth of attractions and hands-on activities," adding, "We expect this to become a healing and therapeutic tourist destination where visitors can experience both nature and wood culture."
