"Susup-ro" is a name that embodies the image of water (su), grass (pul), and road (ro) coming together and flowing in harmony along the Han River. It signifies returning the achievements of waterfront green space development to local residents as a place of relaxation.

The ceremony was attended by about 50 people, including Yangpyeong Deputy Governor Oh Gwangseok; Lee Seunghwan, Director of the Han River Basin Environmental Office; Oh Hyeja, Chairperson of the Yangpyeong County Council and other council members; and heads of local organizations and institutions, all of whom celebrated the project's completion.

The newly developed "Susup-ro Daesimri" is a project jointly promoted by Yangpyeong County and the Han River Basin Environmental Office. The ecological waterfront space, covering approximately 15,639 square meters, was created in Daesim-ri, Yangseo-myeon, at 209-2 and 17 adjacent lots.

Major facilities include a natural wetland with water purification functions and various habitats for wildlife, as well as walking paths and a barefoot trail allowing residents to enjoy healthy leisure activities in nature. Notably, treated effluent from the Guksu Public Sewage Treatment Facility is directed into the existing wetland to maximize its natural purification function, while preserving the original vegetation and aquatic system as much as possible to enhance the completeness of ecological restoration.

In addition, by linking with the nearby Guksu Sports Facility, the site is expected to serve as an ecological and cultural space where residents can enjoy both exercise and relaxation.

Deputy Governor Oh Gwangseok stated, "Susup-ro Daesimri will be a healing space offering everyday rest for residents and a living environmental education site, helping children appreciate the value of ecology. We will continue to work closely with the Han River Basin Environmental Office to establish Yangpyeong as a sustainable environmental capital where people and nature coexist."
