[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] ‘Aqua Dream Park,’ the largest indoor complex swimming pool in Korea, has begun full-scale construction in Jeonggwan-myeon, Gijang-gun, Busan.

Gijang-gun announced on the 4th that the first phase project of the key project ‘Jeonggwan Light·Water·Dream Education Happiness Town,’ ‘Aqua Dream Park,’ started construction on June 12 and currently shows a progress rate of 5%.

Since the groundbreaking, Aqua Dream Park has completed preliminary procedures for full-scale construction, such as determining the feasibility of the existing design through current status surveys and design document reviews, and obtaining approval for the safety management plan.

From August, large-scale equipment will be actively deployed for construction work, including earthworks in progress and pile work for ground stabilization.

Located at 676 Mojeon-ri, Jeonggwan-eup, Aqua Dream Park, being developed as the largest indoor complex swimming pool in Korea, is being built with a total project cost of 46.2 billion KRW and aims for completion by the end of December 2021.

With one basement floor and two above-ground floors, it will feature the largest indoor swimming pool in the country with a total of 22 lanes, a fitness center, Pilates and yoga classrooms, convenience facilities for residents, and auxiliary facilities.

The indoor swimming pool will be equipped with infrastructure for survival swimming education for not only the general public in the Gijang area but also youth and infants. Outdoors, a family water playground usable year-round will be created, which will also be used as a sledding area in winter.

A Gijang-gun official said, “Aqua Dream Park is being built as the largest swimming pool in Korea to activate survival swimming programs for the general public, youth, infants, and families,” adding, “We will proceed with construction without any setbacks amid the shortage of public swimming pools.”
