Boseong-gun Leads Strong Silver Sports Welfare Initiative

Completion of All-Weather Gateball Court in Deungnyang-myeon

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Yong-chul] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 20th that the 'Deungnyang-myeon All-Weather Gateball Court,' promoted to improve the health and welfare of the senior generation, has been completed and will be operated from the end of September.

Boseong-gun aimed to install all-weather gateball courts in 12 eup and myeon areas, investing 4.1 billion KRW in 2019 to complete the construction of all-weather gateball courts in Boseong-eup, Hoecheon-myeon, Ungchi-myeon, and Deungnyang-myeon. Gyeombaek-myeon, which still lacks an all-weather gateball court, plans to proceed with the project in 2020, and Nodong-myeon will continue the construction project on a yearly basis.

The newly established Deungnyang-myeon all-weather gateball court consists of a dome-structured gateball court where gateball can be enjoyed regardless of weather conditions, and an annex building that can be used as a management and rest area.

Boseong-gun is expanding sports facility infrastructure so that all residents can enjoy gateball, which is gaining attention as a senior sport with a low risk of injury, regardless of weather, and is striving to improve sports welfare.

In addition to expanding sports facilities including all-weather gateball courts, the county is actively participating in projects such as the Living SOC public contest, doing its best to create residential conditions where sports and culture harmonize.

A county official said, "We expect that the construction project of this all-weather gateball court will significantly alleviate the inconveniences of gateball users and residents," adding, "We will sequentially equip Gyeombaek-myeon and Nodong-myeon, which do not yet have all-weather facilities, with such facilities."
