The Seoul Metropolitan Government has recently launched a plan to establish the Dongdaemun History & Culture Park with the aim of reviving the historical significance of the Dongdaemun Gate and its adjacent area (on the former site of the Dongdaemun Sports Complex consisting of soccer and baseball fields), promoting the design industry, which is regarded as a key factor for the city’s industrial competitiveness, over the coming years, and providing its citizens witha public space for rest and refreshment. The plan was officially launched on April 28, 2009, with certain facilities east of the Seoul Seonggwak (Restored Castle Walls) and Igansumun Sluice Gate becoming opened to the public on October 27, 2009.
