[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 29th that it will begin construction in July of an 18-hole park golf course in Namak New Town to promote sports leisure culture among residents.

Park golf is a compound word of park and golf, and unlike regular golf courses, it is a sport that anyone can easily access and enjoy comfortably in green spaces like parks.

The park golf course construction project will utilize park land on the adjacent site of sports facilities in Namak-ri, Samhyang-eup, lot number 2597, Namak New Town, creating two courses with 18 holes (18,802㎡). Construction will start in July this year, with plans to open early next year.

Additionally, the difficulty of the park golf course will be varied to increase enjoyment, and a walking trail connected to the park will also be created.

The county confirmed the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s local sports facility support project (national subsidy project) in 2020 to promote the project, budgeting 1.8 billion KRW including 540 million KRW in national funds.

In the future, the area around the park golf course will be developed with community sports facilities and a fine dust blocking forest, which is expected to greatly contribute to residents’ health improvement and leisure demand satisfaction.

Governor Kim San stated, “We expect that the Namak Park Golf Course and surrounding walking trails will enhance the happiness and healthy lives of residents tired from COVID-19 and serve as a good place for rest.”
