Ilsan Lake Park was opened on 4 May 1996 with a total space of approximately Шаблон:Convert. It was constructed over a period of about 3 years (from Jan 1993 to Dec 1995).[1] The lake's surface area is approximately Шаблон:Convert and is reportedly the largest artificial lake in Asia.[2][1]
The park was designed to provide natural-looking spaces for outdoor recreation in an urban area that is isolated from natural water and trees.
Features
Ilsan Lake Park is divided into two parts by Dal-ma-ji island (Шаблон:Korean) which is located in the middle of the lake. The northern part is built around a real natural lake with much of the original plant growth retained. The southern part is an artificial lake with many squares and fountains.
There is an octagonal pavilion on Dal-ma-ji island called "Wal-pa-jung" (Шаблон:Korean). In the middle of the park, there is the Go-sa fountain (Шаблон:Korean) which spouts over 10 m high during the daytime in the summer. Also in the middle of the park, there is Han-ul square (Шаблон:Korean), which is occasionally used for rollerblade contests or by a skateboarding club.
There are several recreational facilities, such as a promenade road, bicycle path, inline skating, walking, and jogging trails that encircle the lake. Ilsan Lake Park also features a large variety of wild flowers and plants, such as cactus, arboretum and botanical gardens.
