An Additional 9,500㎡ of Camp Market's Area B Opens in Incheon, Connecting with Buyoung Park

On October 6, the Incheon city government announced that it has further opened up 9,500 square meters of land within Area B of the Bupyeong U.S. Military Base (Camp Market) after completing soil contamination remediation. It also opened a new connector path that links the previously isolated Buyoung Park and Camp Market.

As a result, the total open area of Camp Market has been expanded to 58,800 square meters.

The city began by opening the Area B sports field (32,800 square meters) in May 2021, and has since steadily expanded the accessible area in stages—aligning with the remediation timeline beneath the buildings—with the first phase in September 2024 and the second phase in July 2025.

In this newly opened section, the city has created walking trails and flower gardens, providing an urban oasis for relaxation. Additionally, by establishing a connecting path through what was once a walled-off barrier, Buyoung Park and Camp Market now seamlessly link together. Before building the connector, the city conducted a human health risk assessment related to soil contamination to ensure public safety.

The city expects that expanding the open space and opening the new connector will enhance public convenience and provide more open spaces for relaxation within the urban area.

An official from the Incheon city government said, “We will continue our efforts to improve park environments and expand green spaces so that citizens can notice the changes in their daily lives.”
