[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 7th that it will create an open-type gymnasium with a complex cultural facility within Okdong Neighborhood Park 2 in the Gwangsan-gu Pyeongdong Industrial Complex (hereinafter Pyeongdong Industrial Complex).


To this end, the soccer field within Okdong Neighborhood Park 2 was expanded and renovated, and the detailed design was completed.


The open-type gymnasium is scheduled to begin construction next month and be completed in October 2021.


The scale is a total floor area of 2,471㎡ (1 basement floor, 2 above-ground floors), with a total project cost of 10 billion KRW. On the first floor, a 5-lane swimming pool will be created, and on the second floor, facilities for sports activities such as volleyball, basketball, and badminton will be established.


In particular, Gwangju City held a residents' briefing session in June to reflect residents' opinions in the gymnasium design and gather public opinion.


Accordingly, measures were taken to install booth-type saunas in the swimming pool on the first floor of the gymnasium, and discussions were held regarding the introduction of experiential swimming programs.


The Pyeongdong Industrial Complex gymnasium will be freely accessible to all local residents and is expected to actively support sports activities for employees of resident companies and multicultural families.



Choi Won-seok, Head of the Architectural Equipment Department at the General Construction Headquarters, said, “The establishment of the open-type gymnasium in the Pyeongdong Industrial Complex is expected to maximize public value by expanding opportunities for community sports activities and improving the quality of life for local residents and workers in the Pyeongdong Industrial Complex, regardless of the unpredictable climate change environment.”
