The park was constructed as part of an eco-friendly urban project to conceal sewage treatment facilities beneath recreational grounds.
The Arpia Tower, located within the park, includes an observation deck that functions as a gallery space.
The site covers a significant surface area developed entirely on top of subterranean environmental utility infrastructure.
The park design intentionally integrates industrial environmental utility with high-traffic public sports amenities.
Yongin Arpia Sports Park is a large-scale municipal recreational facility built atop a fully functional sewage treatment plant, utilizing the subterranean space for waste processing and the surface for public leisure. The park is anchored by a 106-meter-tall observatory tower that serves as a landmark for the Suji-gu district. It features extensive outdoor athletic infrastructure including a regulation-sized soccer field, tennis courts, and basketball courts. The park serves as a hub for both competitive local sports leagues and casual family outdoor activities. The site's elevated position provides panoramic views of the surrounding urban landscape of Suji-gu. Expansive green spaces and walking paths connect the various athletic fields throughout the elevated platform.
