The renovation project for Noryangjin Neighborhood Park, which spans across the Noryangjin-dong and Daebang-dong areas, is in its final stage. Jeolgogae Park, located in the Noryangjin section (around 489 Noryangjin-dong), is being transformed into a complex healing space equipped with exercise, play, and rest facilities, as well as garden-style planting. Through a public naming contest held in February, it was given a new name: Solmaru Park. Completion is scheduled for April 30.

Yongmasan Park in Daebang-dong (around 23-213 Daebang-dong), which will also be completed on the same day, focused on improving the pedestrian environment. The district renovated old decks and wooden stairs and installed block heating cables on the sloped paths to prevent slips and falls during winter.

Eunhasu Children's Park in Sindaebang-dong (492-222 Sindaebang-dong) will finish its improvements on April 29. A deck ramp has been installed at the entrance to enhance accessibility, and a Germanium Path and additional rest areas have been created. Samil Park in Sadang-dong (San 24-17 Sadang-dong), scheduled for completion on April 30, now features newly designed observation and exercise areas, as well as a newly added wet loess zone, which has recently gained popularity.

Sayuksin Historical Park (152-3 Noryangjin-dong), which has attracted attention thanks to the success of the film "The King and the Man Who Lives," will feature the outdoor fitness landmark "Muscle Park." Scheduled for completion at the end of April, this area is being equipped with specialized strength training machines such as hack squat, pec deck fly, and chest press. Additional parking has been secured, and a new Han River viewing area has been added.

Mayor Park Ilha stated, "Through this renovation project, neighborhood parks will be reborn as high-quality spaces that enhance both health and quality of life, going beyond serving as mere places for rest. Going forward, we will continue to expand distinctive theme areas unique to our district, such as Muscle Park, to make Dongjak-gu a premium healing city where residents can always enjoy first-class cultural and athletic services."
