Park Ji-sung Road Followed by 'Park Ji-sung Park'

Following Park Ji-sung Road, 'Park Ji-sung Park' is being developed in Mangpo-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu District, and will open in June.

In particular, player Park Ji-sung is expected to attend the opening ceremony in person and participate in a commemorative tree-planting ceremony.

Park Ji-sung Park was developed by Suwon City with a total project cost of approximately 150 million won on a 1,208 square meter site in Mangpo-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu District. Construction began in March and was completed on the 12th.

Divided into a plaza and green space areas, the plaza features circular soccer ball-shaped grass, two foot-shaped monuments of player Park Ji-sung, and a photo zone for commemorative pictures. The park is also equipped with leisure facilities including Ji-sung Shelter (pavilion) and five types of outdoor fitness equipment such as sky walking.

The Park Ji-sung Park site is mostly land owned by the Agricultural Products Marketing Service. A local resident who holds an occupancy permit and uses the land reportedly gave Suwon City permission to use it for the creation of the Park Ji-sung memorial park. The city said it plans to coordinate with Park Ji-sung's representatives regarding the opening ceremony schedule.

Suwon City Mayor Kim Yong-seo said, "We sincerely wish for the swift recovery of player Park Ji-sung, who recently underwent leg surgery and is undergoing rehabilitation treatment," and "We look forward to seeing him return to the ground and perform again soon."
