Healing space in the city, the Busan City Hall Sky Garden opens to citizens
From November 5, Busan City will open the 'City Hall Sky Garden' to the general public.
This rooftop garden, created in 2014 under the name 'Sky Yard,' was previously a space accessible only to city hall employees. However, after recent renovations, it has transformed into a new leisure space where citizens can enjoy relaxation and various experiences in the city.
This opening is a practical example of the city's '15-Minute Living Zone Policy,' playing an important role in creating an environment where citizens can enjoy culture and leisure close to their daily lives.
The 4th floor rooftop garden of Busan City Hall reborn as a park in the sky for citizens
The 'Sky Garden' located on the rooftop of Busan City Hall is a space where one can enjoy the greenery of nature. It has been designed with various flowers and plants to allow experience of seasonal changes.
Here, citizens can participate in content such as ▲ Alley Play Yard ▲ Greenhouse Classroom, especially popular as an experience space to visit with children.
On the day of the event, around 120 people, including Busan Mayor Park Hyung-jun and invited children, gathered to celebrate the opening. In addition, the facility's usability and accessibility have been improved for citizens to visit conveniently.
Operation of children's experience programs linked with ‘Deullaknalak’
The Sky Garden serves not only as a place for relaxation, but also cooperates with the 'Deullaknalak' children's complex cultural space to provide various experience programs.
The 'Wagle Wagle Alley Playground,' held every Saturday at 10 AM and 11 AM, is a highly popular program where children can enjoy traditional games and various experiences in the heart of the city.
In this place where the pilot project 'GREEN Expedition' is being conducted, children from the City Hall daycare can directly cultivate the garden, providing experiential learning to foster ecological sensitivity.
Through these activities, the Sky Garden is set to establish itself as an experiential space within the city for children and families to participate together.
Usage methods and access information
The Sky Garden is a space that all citizens can freely use every day from 9 AM to 6 PM.
Citizens can directly access the 4th floor rooftop garden via a dedicated elevator installed in the lobby without passing through the security facilities.
This change is intended to improve accessibility for citizens as part of efforts to ease security measures strengthened after the 2012 City Hall arson incident, resulting in the installation of new elevators.
15-minute happiness policy in daily life, from Domohun to the opening of the Sky Garden
Since opening the former mayor's residence as the citizen cultural space 'Domohun' last year, Busan City is now offering the City Hall rooftop garden to citizens this year as a means of pursuing happiness in everyday life.
'Domohun' has become a beloved cultural space with about 360,000 visitors since its opening, and the City Hall rooftop garden is also expected to be a space where citizens and their families can relax in the city. This effort contributes significantly to the activation of citizen culture in Busan.
Busan City plans to continue promoting development towards a 15-minute city that citizens can experience by utilizing idle spaces within the city.
The opening of the 'City Hall Sky Garden' goes beyond simply providing a space; it reflects Busan's urban policy philosophy aimed at enhancing happiness in citizens' daily lives. Located in the city center, the Sky Garden is expected to establish itself as a representative destination to visit with children in Yeonsan-dong, providing nature, relaxation, and various experiences at the same time.
