Guro Neighborhood Park구로근린공원(이씨레물리노공원)

About

Guro Neighborhood Park was built in August 2008 as a place for local residents to relax. Surrounded by various arts and cultural venues such as Guro-gu Community Center, it is well suited for family cultural outings. At the park entrance stands a sculpture celebrating the friendship between Guro-gu and its sister city, Issy-les-Moulineaux in France. The park also has a large performance hall, an outdoor stage, a fountain, an indoor rest area, and outdoor benches, and it connects to a school park created when nearby Yeongnim Middle School opened up its walls. Guro Neighborhood Park is the starting point of Art Valley-gil, which lies within about 10 minutes of Guro Street Park and Guro Library, and it borders the Korea Arts and Culture Education Service. The most notable cultural venue is Guro Art Valley Arts Theater, on the left side of the park. The 150 m path from the park to the main gate of Yeongnim Middle School has been designated one of Seoul's "Streets You Want to Walk On." Lined on both sides with ginkgo trees, it makes a pleasant walking course.
