On this day, Mayor Shin held an opening ceremony for the newly established 'Yuldong Park C parking lot' in Bundang-gu, announcing the expansion of infrastructure to alleviate inconveniences for park visitors and stimulate the local economy.
Mayor Shin is accelerating the development of infrastructure closely tied to residents' daily lives.
The newly opened C parking lot, located on an 8,935 square meter vacant site at 307 Yuldong, Bundang-gu, features 208 parking spaces. Construction began in November of last year and was completed in about seven months at a total cost of 2.341 billion won.
The opening ceremony was attended by over 100 people, including Mayor Shin, city and provincial council members, and local residents, who celebrated the new changes to the community's recreational space.
Since taking office, Mayor Shin has prioritized improving living infrastructure that residents can feel. The establishment of the C parking lot is seen as a significant achievement in addressing parking difficulties and illegal parking issues around the park due to increased visitor numbers.
The new parking facility includes 180 standard spaces, 7 for disabled individuals, 5 for pregnant women, 5 for seniors, and 11 dedicated to electric vehicle charging, catering to a variety of users.
With the addition of the C parking lot, the total number of parking spaces in Yuldong Park has increased significantly to 914, including the existing 150 spaces in A parking lot and 556 in B parking lot.
Mayor Shin plans to install 11 additional electric vehicle chargers by October. Once completed, the total number of charging facilities in Yuldong Park will rise to 56, including 4 in A parking lot and 41 in B parking lot, further enhancing eco-friendly transportation infrastructure.
The C parking lot will operate free of charge until August 31, after which it will transition to a paid system starting September 1. Charges will apply only on weekdays, with the first three hours free. After that, fees will be 300 won for every 30 minutes and an additional 100 won for every 10 minutes thereafter.
Yuldong Park is undergoing continuous transformation through Mayor Shin's pledge project, the 'Ecological Cultural Park Development Project.' In September 2023, a 740-meter barefoot clay path was established, and last year, new facilities such as a 96-space auto camping area, a waterfront stage, and a forest playground were introduced, creating a space for residents to enjoy nature and leisure.
The park, featuring a 1.8-kilometer walking path centered around a lake and various cultural and recreational facilities, has now become a representative ecological cultural space in Seongnam.
Local residents have expressed their support for the opening of the C parking lot. Frequent visitors to Yuldong Park noted, "It was often difficult to find parking on weekends or holidays, which made us hesitate to visit. With the new parking lot, it should be much easier to enjoy the park."
Other residents added, "With improvements to facilities like the barefoot clay path, forest playground, and camping area, the parking issue has also been resolved, which should increase family visits. We expect positive changes for local businesses like restaurants and cafes as well."
Mayor Shin stated, "The opening of the Yuldong Park C parking lot will help resolve illegal parking issues in the area and enhance convenience for visitors. I will continue to work to create a space where residents can enjoy nature more comfortably and invigorate the local economy."
