Anyangcheon Sinjeonggyo Basketball Court Renovation and Repair

Yeongdeungpo-gu to Create Two Basketball Courts with Urethane Flooring and Colorful Design... 160 Million KRW Invested... Accelerating Expansion of Anyangcheon Outdoor Sports Facilities... Tennis Court Construction to be Completed Within the Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The rusty and worn basketball court located under Sinjeonggyo Bridge along Anyangcheon Stream is being reborn as a clean and renovated space through repair and refurbishment work.

Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Chae Hyun-il) announced that it has been selected for the public-private partnership project ‘Seoul, Let’s Exercise’ social contribution campaign between Seoul City and Adidas Korea, and is currently carrying out maintenance of the aging sports facilities along the Anyangcheon riverside.

The ‘Seoul, Let’s Exercise’ campaign promotes various sports environment improvement projects such as repairing and refurbishing old public sports facilities and jointly developing community sports programs to establish a healthy sports culture and expand residents’ interest in recreational sports.

With this project selection, Yeongdeungpo-gu secured a budget of 162 million KRW and designated the Sinjeonggyo basketball court, which had low usage due to aging facilities and a loess soil floor, as the target for repair and refurbishment, starting construction on the 11th.

The repair and refurbishment work will take about a month, with completion planned by early this month.

As part of this improvement project, two basketball courts covering an area of 900㎡ will be newly constructed.

Additionally, the loess soil court, which posed a high risk of injury, will be paved with urethane, and the floor surface will be expressed with trick art to create a lively place that appeals to younger generations.

Furthermore, safety equipment such as fences and protective pads will be additionally installed, transforming the basketball court into a comfortable and pleasant space.

Meanwhile, the district also announced that it is steadily promoting outdoor sports facility expansion projects such as the ‘Anyangcheon Comprehensive Sports Belt Development’ project.

Following the completion of adult baseball fields, little league baseball fields, park golf courses, and artificial turf soccer fields by the first half of last year, construction of a hard court tennis court, which began on the 26th of last month, is also planned to be completed within this year.

In 2021, a multipurpose artificial turf field will be created at Anyangcheon Galdae 3 Field, and other convenience facilities will be maintained to complete the improvement project.

Chae Hyun-il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “We are making every effort to secure national, city, and private funding to create a pleasant and safe recreational sports environment,” and added, “We will continue to improve aging recreational sports infrastructure through cooperation with private companies and related organizations.”
