[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Chung-young] Uiwang City held the opening ceremony for the 'Wangsong Lake Park Barefoot Walking Trail' on the 17th.

The opening ceremony was attended by approximately 100 people including Uiwang Mayor Kim Sung-je, Uiwang City Council Chairman Kim Hak-gi, city council members, and citizens.

Wangsong Lake Park is a representative attraction in Uiwang City with diverse recreational features including ziplines, rail bikes, and camping grounds, and is a park frequently visited by citizens. With the creation of this barefoot walking trail, it has become an even more attractive destination.

The Wangsong Lake Park Barefoot Walking Trail consists of a 200m yellow clay trail and an 820m sand clay trail, allowing citizens to experience the park while walking barefoot at Wangsong Lake Park.

The yellow clay trail was designed as a circular model utilizing hillsides within the park, with foot washing stations and safety handrails installed to prioritize user convenience.

Additionally, the sand clay trail draws attention as it was created as a unique space where visitors can experience the lake park barefoot while blending distinctive landscaping elements such as the garden culture exhibition garden, ecological wetlands, and grass plaza.

Uiwang Mayor Kim Sung-je stated, "With the creation of the barefoot walking trail, Wangsong Lake Park is expected to transform into an even more beautiful and dynamic park," and added, "We hope many people visit Uiwang, which is becoming a renowned barefoot walking trail destination, to maintain their health while walking barefoot in our pristine natural environment and create wonderful memories."
