Limited Opening of Songpa-gu Public Sports Facilities Including Jamsil Yusuji Sports Complex

Opening of Over 20 Outdoor Facilities Including Soccer, Baseball, and Tennis Courts

On April 23, officials from Songpa District Office disinfected sports equipment that residents will use ahead of the reopening at Aureum Sports Center.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Seong-su Park) will sequentially reopen public facilities managed by the district office that were temporarily closed from February to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The first facilities to reopen are outdoor public sports facilities. Following the government's 'relaxed social distancing' policy, the district began operating outdoor sports facilities with relatively less physical contact starting from the 30th.

The outdoor sports facilities opening this time include about 20 locations such as Aureum Sports Center, Multipurpose Stadium, Jamsil Retention Basin, Women's Soccer Field, and Tennis Courts.

In particular, ahead of the reopening, the district focused on disinfection activities to ensure safe use by residents. A disinfection management officer was appointed for each facility, and disinfection and hand sanitizer placement were carried out. Even after reopening, continuous disinfection activities will be maintained according to government guidelines.

To prevent infectious diseases, users must sign the visitor log, have their temperature checked, and confirm mask-wearing before entering the facilities.

The district plans to review the operation of indoor sports facilities and other multi-use facilities after May 5. The decision will be made by comprehensively considering changes in the COVID-19 situation, the end of the government's 'relaxed social distancing' period, and the safety of residents.

Seong-su Park, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “Although 'relaxed social distancing' is in effect, the government still emphasizes that COVID-19 is ongoing,” adding, “Through the reopening of outdoor sports facilities, we will thoroughly implement disinfection and carefully consider residents' needs to prepare for a new daily life in response to COVID-19.”
