The LG Sangrok Foundation said April 28 it will host a family invitation event next month, themed “Hwadam Forest Walk for Three Generations,” on May 11 to mark Family Month.
The foundation said the program is designed to help families spend time together in nature and talk while walking. “Hwadam” is also the pen name of the late Koo Bon-moo, who created the forest.
Hwadam Forest has barrier-free deck paths with gentle slopes across the entire route, allowing access for strollers and wheelchairs, the foundation said. A monorail also operates to help visitors reach areas that are harder to walk.
Participating families will be able to visit “Hwadamchae,” a cultural complex featuring exhibits on the forest’s nature and philosophy, take family photos with the forest as a backdrop, and attend an hourly “forest concert,” it said.
The event will be free for up to 2,500 people from three-generation families who apply through advance reservations.
“Hwadam Forest has aimed to be more than a place to view nature — a place where people stay together and communicate in nature,” an LG Sangrok Foundation official said. The official added the foundation hopes the event will give families “from grandparents to grandchildren” time to walk together and build memories.
