Main Facilities
Botanic Center, Kid's Garden School, Magok Cultural Hall (previous Yangcheon Drainage Pump Station)
Magok Cultural Hall in SBP is a modern architecture registered as Cultural Heritage No. 363 Yangcheon Drainage Pump Station in 2007, for its great historical value as being the only existing and well-preserved building among those built in 1927-28 when Korea was under Japanese occupation.
It was a water management center for field crop irrigation, particularly stable paddy farming, in the Magok plains. Built in a wooden structure on a concrete foundation with a length of 4 meters (therefore not compromised by floods), the station was shut down in the 1980s due to urbanization and restored its old form and structure in 2017.
Yangcheon Drainage Pump Station, restored as Magok Cultural Hall, consists of the Special Exhibition Hall (327.94㎡) on the first floor, the Permanent Exhibition Hall (57.16㎡) on the second floor, and the underground space preserving the old drainage pipes.
