Uiwang Urban Corporation Sequentially Reopens Wangsong Lake Campground and Other Suspended Facilities

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang Urban Corporation will resume operations of the Wangsong Lake Campground, Uiwang Skyrail, Avian Ecology Science Museum, and Barasan Natural Recreation Forest, which have been closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The Wangsong Lake Campground, Uiwang Skyrail, and Avian Ecology Science Museum will reopen from August 1, while Barasan Natural Recreation Forest will reopen from August 3.

For Barasan Natural Recreation Forest's reopening, the rooms to be operated are facilities with low infection risk and fewer than 10 persons: Baekunsan-dong (4-person rooms) and Barasan-dong (8-person rooms), as well as the camping area (camping deck and fixed tents). These measures aim to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Cheonggye-san-dong and the Forest Culture Recreation Center (seminar room), which can accommodate groups of 10 or more, will be reopened in stages in accordance with COVID-19 response measures announced by the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters.

Barasan Natural Recreation Forest reservations for August use are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9 a.m. on the 30th through the 'Barasan Natural Recreation Forest website (barasan.foresttrip.go.kr)' and 'Sumnadeul-e website.' However, reservations may be cancelled depending on the spread of COVID-19 in the community.

Recreation forest users (including hikers) must strictly comply with the five personal quarantine guidelines and four supplementary guidelines announced by the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, and must follow facility-specific hygiene rules and conduct guidelines.

In particular, use by those with respiratory symptoms or fever is restricted, and quarantine measures including fever checks and visitor registration logs upon entry will be implemented to ensure users can safely use the facilities.

Use of Wangsong Lake Campground, Uiwang Skyrail, and Avian Ecology Science Museum also requires maintaining distance, wearing masks, and undergoing fever checks. Use of the shared shower facilities at Wangsong Lake Campground is prohibited.

Wangsong Lake Campground is accepting August reservations on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9 a.m. on the 28th. From September reservations onward, operations will proceed with a lottery system as before.
