Seaside Park will feature state-of-the-art multimedia technology... Incheon to renovate Songsan Park as well
The Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ) says it is ready to add some cutting-edge multimedia technology to the Seaside Park at Yeongjong International City as part of its “Light City Incheon Night View” project. The unique combination of multimedia technology and a beautiful natural environment at Seaside Park will turn the Park into a popular hop spot in the evening.
IFEZ plans to use the natural landscape of the Seaside Park, which is already a local favorite in Yeongjong International City, and install interactive light fixtures to offer unique nightscapes available nowhere else in Korea. To this end, IFEZ submitted a proposal for the “Seaside Park Media Art Production, Installation, and Operation System Construction” worth around KRW 2 billion. If approved, the proposal will create tourism demand in connection with nearby recreational facilities, including local rail bike systems. The proposal was also disclosed on the Korea ON-Line E-Procurement System run by the Public Procurement Service.

Specifically, this latest proposal by IFEZ outlines the city’s plans to build a story representing the identity of Yeongjong International City, to develop, produce and install original and unique nighttime tourism content using media art, and to present immersive and interactive tourism programs using various other nightscapes and lighting production techniques as well as light fixtures. The proposal also involves installing and applying an integrated management system that can help maintain new facilities and systems installed in and around Seaside Park.
In addition to upgrading the night view at the Seaside Park, IFEZ is looking to improve the esplanade at Songsan Park with new decks and coconut fiber mats to give the locals in Yeongjong a more pleasant experience at the Park.
Overall, this project willcost KRW 3.5 billion. If Yeongjong International City continues to build up its capacity as a leisure and tourism city by infusing different cultures with media art, immersive tourism programs offered through various interactive facilities, and recreational facilities such as resorts, it can certainly become one of the top tourist destinations in the Seoul and Gyeonggi metropolitan area.
