Osan Stream Reborn as an Open Space for Citizens to Enjoy Together

[Suwon Ilbo=Park Chan-hyeok Reporter] Osan City announced on the 14th that it will operate seasonal programs to transform the Osan Stream into an open space that citizens can enjoy together.

To this end, the city plans to enrich daily activities at Osan Stream through flower-lined walking paths, cultural performances, and citizen-participation events.

Recently, California poppies have bloomed in full on the Osan Stream walking path, including below Namchon Bridge, announcing the height of spring. Flower fields painted in orange, pink, and yellow hues stretch across the area, brightening the Osan Stream vicinity. The charm of Osan Stream, which creates different landscapes with each season, is becoming established as a natural retreat that provides rest and leisure to citizens.

In response, the city is preparing various cultural and participation programs to share the value of Osan Stream with citizens.

On the 18th, a 'Spring Fragrance Concert' will be held at the Namchon Rose Garden lawn area. The concert will feature performances by four teams, allowing citizens to enjoy music in nature and serve as a venue for cultural exchange and communication.

Following this, the '2025 Osan-Meaning Osan Stream Walking Marathon' will take place on June 1st. The event, which allows participants to experience nature while walking a 4 km section of Osan Stream, exceeded the initial recruitment target of 2,000 people, with over 2,800 people applying and the registration closing early. The event, held at Osan Stream, a representative natural space in the city, is being prepared with keen interest from citizens.

Mayor Lee Gwon-jae said, "Osan Stream is a space where citizens can most easily enjoy nature," and added, "Through various programs including flower-lined walks, cultural performances, and walking marathons, we will establish Osan Stream as a space that grows closer to citizens and becomes a pause in daily life."
