Urban Oasis 'Gyeonggi Garden' to Open in July... Governor Dongyeon Kim Inspects Key Facilities

Gyeonggi Province Governor Dongyeon Kim visited Gyeonggi Garden, located within Suwon Gwanggyo Gyeonggi Convergence Town, to inspect the preparations ahead of its opening to residents.

Gyeonggi Garden is the main green space within Gyeonggi Convergence Town, which houses public institutions such as the new Gyeonggi Provincial Government building, the Provincial Assembly, the Provincial Office of Education, Gyeonggi Provincial Library, Gyeonggi Housing & Urban Development Corporation, and Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation. Once the garden opens, it is expected to become an open space where visitors to Gyeonggi Convergence Town can relax.

This inspection was organized to check the safety of major facilities and the readiness of operations and management before the official opening in July. Heads of institutions located in Gyeonggi Convergence Town, relevant department directors, and Gwanggyo residents attended the on-site inspection to review key facilities and user routes of Gyeonggi Garden together.

Governor Kim stated, "The construction is nearly complete, and I ask that you do your best with the finishing touches so that not only nearby residents but also all provincial residents can visit and enjoy the garden."

Spanning a total area of 32,700 square meters, Gyeonggi Garden generates more than its annual electricity consumption through solar power, taking into account carbon reduction and climate measures. Facilities include Peace Pond and Water Splash Road, both water play areas for children in summer, a solar-powered rest area, a playground, a barefoot loess walking trail, and a grass plaza. Over 600 trees and more than 100,000 shrubs and herbaceous plants have been planted to ensure that both visitors and employees of institutions in Gyeonggi Convergence Town can comfortably enjoy the changing seasons even in the heart of the city.

Gyeonggi Province plans to promptly address any issues identified during inspections before the opening and, after the opening, will continue to manage major facility inspections, plant care, and cleanliness so that residents can enjoy Gyeonggi Garden safely and comfortably.
