Yeongheung Forest Park영흥숲공원

About

Covering 180,000 pyeong, Yeongheung Park was about to lose its park designation under the sunset rule for long-unbuilt parks when it was reborn as Yeongheung Forest Park through a special act allowing private development of parks. A once-neglected forest now embraces an arboretum and has become Suwon's flagship park, leading the way in forest and garden culture. Along the Gureummaru-gil trail, you can take in the forest and the whole park on a multilevel loop. In the "Forest with Stories," young people grow together and learn to cherish life, while Yeongtong Garo Park, the Youth Experience Forest, the Visitor Center, and Doran Madang let you enjoy park and garden culture as part of everyday life. True to its name, Yeongheung Forest Park is set to become Suwon's leading model of a citizen-participation park: a forest of the future, tended by citizens and ever growing, a "thousand-year Suwon" (written with characters meaning "thousand-year tree garden").
