Ui-jeongbu Mayor An Byung-yong Inspects Yeokjeon Neighborhood Park Construction Site

Ui-jeongbu Mayor An Byung-yong visited the construction site of Yeokjeon Neighborhood Park on August 10, a storytelling historical and cultural theme park under development on the Camp Humphreys return site, where the past, present, and future coexist.

The Yeokjeon Neighborhood Park development project began in 2009, two years after the base was returned in 2007. On March 19, 2014, the Berlin Wall memorial and a symbolic monument commemorating the city's 50th anniversary of city status were installed. A memorial space for Ahn Jung-geun has been under construction, and on August 8, an Ahn Jung-geun statue donated by China was installed.

Mayor An Byung-yong stated, "In this meaningful area where the U.S. military base (Camp Humphreys) was stationed after the Korean War, I ask that utmost efforts be made to construct the Yeokjeon Neighborhood Park, which symbolically presents the message of peace and unification and a future-oriented unification vision with the theme of coexistence of war, freedom, and peace."
