Incheon City, completion of soil contamination cleanup in Camp Market Area B, opening of additional site and opening of passageway to Buyeong Park

Incheon City announced on the 5th that it has opened an additional 9,500 m2 of land where soil contamination has been cleaned up in Area B of the Bupyeong US Military Base (Camp Market) and opened a connecting passage connecting Buyeong Park and Camp Market.

Accordingly, the total camp market space opened so far has been expanded to 58,800 m2.

Starting with the first opening of the District B playground site (32,800 ㎡) in May 2021, the city has steadily expanded the opening area in stages such as the first stage (September 2024) and the second stage (July 2025) in accordance with the schedule for purifying the lower part of the building.

The city created a walking path and flower complex in this additional open section to create a resting area in the city.

In addition, a connecting passage with Booyoung Park, which was blocked by a fence, was created to allow the two parks to connect naturally.

Prior to the construction of the connecting passage, a human risk assessment related to soil pollution was conducted to confirm the safety of citizens.

The city expects that the expansion of open space and the opening of connecting passageways will serve as an opportunity to increase the convenience of citizens using the park and expand open rest areas in the city center.

To commemorate the additional opening, the city held an experience event where citizens could walk along the newly connected pedestrian path and a camp market drawing contest.

Ku Hye-rim, director of the original downtown innovation department, said, "We will strive to improve the park environment and expand green space so that citizens can experience it in their daily lives."
