From January through October this year, the district invested 1.2 billion won in the “Geori Park Red Clay Trail Development and Aging Facilities Renovation Project” in Section 2 of Geori Park, around No. 50, Guro 5-dong. The project aimed to repair aging park facilities and expand spaces for residents to relax. The park now features a red clay trail for barefoot walking, an open rest area and a charming garden, as well as new amenities for residents.

The completion ceremony will be held at the site at 2 p.m. on Nov. 9. About 100 people, including District Mayor Jang In-hong and local residents, will attend. The program will include a report on the project’s progress, a commemorative tree planting and a tour of the red clay trail.

The district will also renovate the remaining sections of Section 2 of Geori Park. To this end, it secured 750 million won in special grants in the second half of 2026. It plans to complete the design by the end of this year and finish the renovations by the first half of 2027.

“Geori Park has been transformed into a space where residents can comfortably walk and take a break in their daily lives,” Mayor Jang said. “We will continue to renovate aging park facilities so residents can enjoy pleasant green spaces close to home.”
