Utilizing Old Fish Market Vacant Land for Baseball and Soccer Fields

Dongjak-gu Signs Business Agreement to Develop Idle Land of Suhyup into Sports Facilities... Approximately 48,000㎡ Baseball and Soccer Fields, Jogging Track, and Other Sports Facilities to Operate from April Next Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) has signed a business agreement with the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives to transform the idle land around 688 Nodeul-ro, owned by the Fisheries Cooperative, into a community sports facility.

The agreement was signed on the 3rd at the district office, attended by Dongjak-gu Mayor Changwoo Lee and Hong Jin-geun, CEO of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives. Both parties agreed to cooperate to make reasonable use of the land, which has been left unused for a long time without any specific purpose until development begins.

Through this, the approximately 48,000㎡ of idle land around the former Noryangjin Fish Market will be developed into community sports facilities such as ▲ baseball field ▲ soccer field ▲ futsal field ▲ jogging track for about four years for local residents until the Fisheries Cooperative develops the site for office facilities or other purposes.

The site is directly connected to Noryangjin Station and has excellent accessibility to main roads such as Olympic-daero and Nodeul-ro, allowing convenient use by residents.

After construction of the sports facilities, the Fisheries Cooperative will provide them free of charge to Dongjak-gu, and the district will offer administrative support such as permits and approvals required for installing public or communal facilities to ensure smooth project progress.

Design and related work will be completed by December this year, with construction finishing by March next year, and the facilities will be open for residents to use starting April next year.

Dongjak-gu plans to meet the demand for outdoor sports facilities through the operation of the community sports facilities around 688 Nodeul-ro and is considering the site as a venue for the annual Dongjak-gu Residents Sports Festival held at Boramae Park.

Mayor Changwoo Lee of Dongjak-gu said, “I am very pleased that this business agreement allows us to utilize the long-neglected idle land in the area as a space for the health and harmony of Dongjak residents,” adding, “We will continue to promote community-oriented policies that carefully address residents’ daily inconveniences through proactive administration.”
