[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) has completed the construction of sports facilities, including a soccer field and a baseball field, on the idle site of the Suhyup Fisheries Cooperative where the old Noryangjin Fish Market was located, and will open them next month.

This sports facility project was officially launched last November when Dongjak-gu Mayor Changwoo Lee and Suhyup Central Association CEO Jingun Hong signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

Before developing the approximately 48,000㎡ old fish market site for office use, it will be operated as sports facilities for residents for more than three years.

The project is being promoted in a way that Suhyup builds the sports facilities and provides them free of charge to Dongjak-gu, which will manage the operation. The facilities include ▲one baseball field ▲one soccer field with an athletics track ▲65 parking spaces.

After about three months of construction, the sports facilities were completed earlier this month and will undergo a pilot operation before officially opening on June 1.

The sports facilities are connected to Noryangjin Station on subway lines 1 and 9, and are adjacent to major roads such as Nodeul-ro and Olympic-daero, making them conveniently accessible.

Meanwhile, to promote community sports, the baseball and soccer fields will be rented only to amateur athletes such as club members. The baseball field will operate 8 times a day for 16 hours, and the soccer field 7 times a day for 14 hours.

The usage fees for soccer games are based on 2-hour use: ▲60,000 KRW on weekdays ▲78,000 KRW on weekends and holidays; for baseball games based on 2-hour use: ▲100,000 KRW on weekdays ▲130,000 KRW on weekends and holidays. Lighting fees are charged separately.

Additionally, parking is available at 3,000 KRW per hour.

Lee Soon-gi, Director of the Sports and Culture Division, said, “With the establishment of these community sports facilities, we hope residents will enjoy exercising while overlooking the Han River and visit with their families to find relaxation in this open space.”
