Jungang Park covers a total area of 448,192 square meters, consisting of 347,625 square meters of park facilities and 100,567 square meters of non-park facilities. The project is being jointly implemented by Gwangju City and G Park Development Co., Ltd.
The main facilities include a glamping site, a loess trail, Nanseolheon Yard, the Forest of Literature, and Meongmeong Park. The buildings, which are currently in the final stages of completion, include the (tentatively named) Child Growth Center, a visitor center, a transfer parking lot, a reading lounge, and a glamping management building.
Once the park is completed, it is expected to provide citizens with a pleasant space for relaxation and leisure, as well as essential infrastructure. This will not only improve overall welfare, but also contribute to revitalizing local businesses and alleviating traffic congestion.
In particular, as the park is located within the city center, it offers excellent accessibility and a wide range of leisure, cultural, and recreational functions. It is anticipated to become a new landmark in Gwangju.
Mayor Bang Se-hwan stated, "Jungang Park is a very important space where people can enjoy rest and leisure within the urban area. We will do our utmost to ensure that citizens can enjoy a variety of sports, leisure, and recreational activities."
