Yongin City Develops Two Ssahmji Parks on Giheung Reservoir Circular Walking Trail

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun] Yongin City announced on the 22nd that it has developed two ssahmji parks on the Giheung Reservoir Circular Walking Trail.

The circular walking trail surrounding Giheung Reservoir had faced criticism for its lack of rest areas in the western section of the reservoir.

In response, the city developed two ssahmji parks in the section from the reservoir embankment to the entrance of Maemi Mountain to provide rest spots for citizens using the circular walking trail.

A total of 200 million won from city and provincial budgets was invested. In addition to observation decks and benches for rest, the city planted cornus officinalis and spindle trees to improve the surrounding landscape.

The city plans to continue supplementing convenience facilities to ensure citizens visiting Giheung Reservoir experience no inconvenience.

A city official stated, "In addition to the two sites completed this time, we plan to improve the landscape around the Giheung Reservoir Circular Walking Trail and secure additional rest spaces," and added, "In preparation for the post-COVID era, we will continue to secure spaces where citizens can take a rest."
