The Lotus Theme Park, created on 19.3 hectares of rice paddies around Gwankokji in Hajung-dong, Gaetgol Ecological Park, and Mulwang Reservoir, is considered one of Siheung City's representative tourist attractions.

The park observatory had been temporarily open only on weekends from June to August, the lotus blooming season. However, with this expansion, the observatory will operate year-round. Opening hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. To facilitate this, the city has refurbished the observatory by installing decks on the access roads and carrying out painting work.

Im Byeong-taek, mayor of Siheung City, said, "We decided to open the observatory year-round so that citizens and tourists can enjoy the park more conveniently," adding, "With extended opening hours, visitors will be able to appreciate the beauty of the Lotus Theme Park throughout all four seasons."
