By 2015, three themed parks featuring traditional, cultural, and sports themes will be constructed on a 240,000㎡ site surrounding the Suwon Youth Culture Center in Ingye-dong, Paldal-gu.
Suwon City held an Urban Park Committee meeting on the 7th and received approval for the basic plan of the Youth Culture Park (Ingye 3-ho Park). The youth culture park project, to be carried out in three phases, will cover a total area of 241,090㎡ with a total project budget of 74.6 billion won.
In the first phase, the Cultural Theme Park (96,300㎡) will be constructed near the KBS Drama Center, featuring a grass plaza, floor fountains, and digital sculptures. Photo zones themed after scenes from dramas and films will also be installed along the walking paths for commemorative photographs.
The Traditional Theme Park (34,585㎡), to be constructed in the second phase across from Dongsuwon Hospital, will feature traditional ponds, wooden poles, stone jar gardens, and stone towers.
The Sports Theme Park (48,055㎡), to be built in the third phase across from the Youth Culture Center, will include multipurpose sports fields where soccer and other activities can be enjoyed, as well as various exercise equipment for individual fitness training.
The city expects the large-scale theme park to serve as a recreational and leisure space for residents in the Ingye-dong area of Paldal-gu. The surrounding area of the Youth Culture Park is a densely populated residential zone featuring Raemian Apartments (currently undergoing reconstruction), Hillstate, Hansin, Sujeong, and Sunkyong Apartments.
The city plans to complete detailed design by next month, obtain implementation plan approval, and begin construction this year. Currently, 7.5 billion won (5 billion won in compensation and 2.5 billion won in construction costs) is needed for phase one, and the city plans to secure the additional budget through a supplementary budget in July.
A city official explained, "The start of construction may be subject to change depending on whether the supplementary budget is secured."
