Located on the open-air terrace of a 12-story department store, this active play area and lush garden is an oasis of native trees, plants and flowers for children and families in the city of Uijeongbu, South Korea. Uijeongbu, like many of Seoul’s satellite cities, can best be described as a concrete landscape with very little infrastructure devoted to culture, parks, and recreation. The garden thus serves as a much-needed oasis for the residents of Uijeongbu.
