Installation of floor fountains and firefly lighting... Creating a space where nature, relaxation, and culture harmonize
Deck stage installed for community activities such as cultural events and busking performances
Garden-style flower beds also created in the plaza... Enjoy diverse natural scenery throughout all four seasons
Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has transformed 'Gwangjin Square,' located near Children's Grand Park Station (Gunja-dong), into a new space where nature, culture, and relaxation harmonize.
Established in 2006 with an area of 4,052㎡, Gwangjin Square had seen low usage by residents due to aging facilities.
In response, the district not only renovated the facilities but also redesigned Gwangjin Square as a 'square embracing a park' so that residents can enjoy leisure and relaxation within the city.
First, to effectively cope with summer heatwaves, a ground fountain and cooling fog system were installed. In addition to providing a refreshing water play area, nine video projectors and 27 firefly lights will create a beautiful and mystical nighttime atmosphere.
Moreover, Gwangjin Square features a garden-style flowerbed planted with 2,515 trees including Zelkova, Holly Oak, and Nandina, as well as 3,434 herbaceous plants such as Korean Fir and Heuchera. It is expected that many visitors will be able to enjoy diverse natural scenery and relax throughout all four seasons.
Additionally, Gwangjin-gu installed a deck stage to enable residents to engage in various cultural activities. This stage will serve as a community space where people of all ages can gather and communicate through cultural events and busking performances.
Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, stated, “Gwangjin Square has been transformed into a space where people can enjoy nature and relaxation in the city. We will continue to do our best to develop it into a local landmark where many residents can comfortably visit anytime with family, friends, and loved ones.”
