South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol inaugurated a new children’s park on the grounds of the former Yongsan Garrison on Thursday, as the country moves forward with plans to create a green oasis in the heart of Seoul.
Yoon joined a ceremony for the opening of Yongsan Children’s Garden, a roughly 74-acre patch of land inside the former headquarters of U.S. Forces Korea, which has been off-limits to the South Korean public for 120 years.
The park is set on a section of the base that includes sports fields and a former residential area for officers. Visitors can also climb a hill that features of view of the presidential office, which was relocated by Yoon last year right next to the Yongsan site.
