Waterfront Cultural Spaces to Be Greatly Expanded at Cheongna Lake Park and Canalway in Incheon

21 Billion Won Invested

Lake Park and Canalway to Be Revitalized as Hubs for Relaxation, Culture, and Night Views

The Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority announced on March 17 that it will expand waterfront cultural spaces at Cheongna International City’s Lake Park and Canalway.

The Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority will invest 1.3 billion won to create a waterfront-friendly relaxation space at Cheongna Lake Park, where citizens can stay and rest close to the water.

The authority plans to remodel the aging media facilities near Cheongna Lake Library, creating a canal-shaped waterway and experiential and rest areas. Curtain fountains, cooling fog systems, and shaded resting areas will be installed to provide a pleasant environment for citizens during the summer.

At night, landscape lighting will be used to create a scene where water and light come together, transforming the lake park into a new attraction where visitors can enjoy a unique atmosphere.

The Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority will also invest 250 million won to develop an experiential waterfront cultural space at the Canalway. In the area of Changhae Cultural Park, the authority will provide waterfront experience spaces and rest facilities, creating a place where citizens can relax and enjoy culture in their daily lives.

Additionally, 540 million won will be invested in the Canalway section near Jeongseojin Park to improve nighttime scenery and revitalize surrounding commercial districts.

An official from the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority stated, “When the project is completed in May or June, Cheongna Lake Park and Canalway will become signature waterfront destinations in Cheongna. We hope this will increase citizen satisfaction and help revitalize the local economy.”
