Osan City Opens Three Barefoot Yellow Clay Trails for Spring Season

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyuk] Osan City announced on March 14 that it will reopen three barefoot yellow clay trails created last year starting March 17 as spring arrives.

The yellow clay trails are located at △Dolmen Park (520 Geunam-dong) △Wondong Neighborhood Park (404-7 Wondong) △Jungmi Neighborhood Park (620 Segyo-dong), and have gained significant popularity among citizens as spaces where people can experience nature and maintain their health in the urban environment.

During the winter closure period, the city removed protective covers and completed yellow clay replenishment and inspection of foot-washing facilities to provide a safer and more pleasant environment.

Last year, approximately 30,000 citizens and tourists visited and experienced the health benefits and healing effects of the yellow clay trails.

Through this reopening, citizens can once again experience barefoot walking in nature, and the city plans to enhance user satisfaction through continuous maintenance and management.

This year, the city will conduct user surveys to actively reflect citizens' opinions and monitor necessary improvements.

In addition to the existing three sites, the city plans to create seven additional sites in Busan-dong, Yangsan-dong, and other areas to operate a total of 10 barefoot yellow clay trails this year.

Mayor Lee Kwon-jae stated, "We will continue to create spaces where citizens can be healthy and rest comfortably," and added, "We hope you will show great interest in the newly created barefoot yellow clay trails this year."
