[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City is fully renovating the Dongchun-dong Inline Roller Rink in Yeonsu-gu and plans to transform it into an inline theme park by 2022.

The city announced on the 20th that starting this year, with a total project budget of 6 billion KRW including 2.4 billion KRW in national funds, it will create the nation's only inline theme park on a 26,000㎡ area around the Dongchun Inline Roller Rink.

Constructed in 1999, the Dongchun Inline Roller Rink's facilities have become outdated, causing difficulties for elite athletes' training and raising concerns about safety accidents among citizens using the rink.

Accordingly, the city plans to renovate the internal track of the inline roller rink and expand eco-friendly roof membrane facilities to create an inline theme park usable throughout all four seasons. Around the rink, inline trails and walking paths will be developed to create a space that anyone can enjoy.

To promote the project, the city appointed a public architect, a private expert, to plan the overall master plan, and recently passed the preliminary review approval by the National Public Architecture Support Center and the Incheon Public Architecture Deliberation Committee.

The city plans to start the design competition next month and begin construction in May of next year.

An Incheon city official stated, "Once the project is completed, we will not only support training for inline speed skaters but also prepare various programs for citizens to enjoy, making it a representative themed space in Incheon for leisure sports and recreation."
