[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Jung-gu, Seoul (Mayor Seoyangho) will temporarily provide local parks as outdoor wedding venues free of charge from April to June for soon-to-be newlyweds who wish to hold small but meaningful weddings amid COVID-19.

The parks available for outdoor wedding venue rental are Jeongdong Neighborhood Park, Seosomun History Park, and Son Ki-jeong Sports Park.

Jeongdong Neighborhood Park, located at the end of the "Gojong's Road" starting from Deoksugung Palace, is perfect for a bright wedding atmosphere in spring, where the Russian Legation building and the white octagonal pavilion in the center of the park harmonize elegantly with the landscaping.

Seosomun History Park features a central natural grass field and a Quercus dentata (large oak) path, making it an ideal place to brighten weddings in May and June, when the greenery shines the most, symbolizing a fresh start.

The natural grass field at Son Ki-jeong Sports Park, imbued with hope and indomitable spirit, can also be a meaningful place for soon-to-be couples standing at a new starting line.

The operating hours for the unique outdoor wedding venues are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with one wedding ceremony held per day.

The available dates for ceremonies are April 24; May 1, 9, 15, 23, 29; and June 5, 13, 19, 27, totaling 10 occasions.

Applicants must be soon-to-be newlyweds getting married during this period. Applications are currently being accepted and will close on the 29th. The venue rental is free, but applicants must comply with the established park wedding operation guidelines.
