This project was initiated to enhance the convenience of using the aging coastal observation decks installed in the Sihwa MTV Turtle Island area, as well as to improve the coastal landscape of Sihwa Lake.

The project site covers the public waters near 2726-4, 2726, and 2738 Jeongwang-dong. After securing a special adjustment grant of 280 million won from Gyeonggi Province, the city proceeded with the demolition of old wooden decks, basic repairs, and the reinstallation of observation decks and reinforced glass railings from March to April.

Through this renovation, a total of seven coastal observation decks, each measuring 42 square meters, have been newly created. In particular, reinforced glass has been applied to the railings to improve visibility and enhance the function of observing the Sihwa Lake coastline. In addition, the city plans to further increase the usability of these spaces as rest areas for citizens by installing additional amenities such as benches on the decks in the future, so citizens can comfortably enjoy the coastal scenery.

The city expects that, thanks to this renovation project, citizens and visitors will be able to enjoy the coastal landscape of Sihwa Lake and spend their leisure time in a safer environment.

Yoon Jincheol, Director of Balanced Development, stated, "With the renovation of the Sihwa Lake coastal observation decks, citizens can now enjoy marine scenery and leisure activities in a more pleasant environment," adding, "We will continue to manage and improve the coastal landscape and create a safe pedestrian environment in the Sihwa Lake and Turtle Island areas going forward."
