Completion of Jokgu Field at Guui Yusuji, Gwangjin-gu
Reborn as a Lawn Sports Field Twice the Size
Guui Retention Basin Jokgu Field Completion Ceremony Held on the 10th, Renovation Completed After Continuous Efforts
Significantly Expanded from One Field of 496㎡ to Two Fields of 1,295㎡, Enhancing Openness
Established Safety Protection Nets to Prevent Injuries, Including Eco-friendly Artificial Turf and LED Floodlights Installation
The 'Guui Retention Basin Jokgu Field' located in Guui 3-dong, Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has been newly renovated into a modern sports facility.
This project was promoted to meet the long-standing expectations of users, including the Gwangjin-gu Jokgu Association, who wished for facility improvements. To this end, 200 million KRW of the district budget was invested, and full-scale construction began in November last year.
The newly transformed jokgu field has been expanded to increase openness. The size of the sports field, which was previously one field of 496㎡, has been significantly expanded to two fields totaling 1,295㎡. The previously cramped space compared to user demand was prioritized for improvement to prevent safety accidents such as collisions.
Additionally, the old lighting was replaced with 300W-class LED floodlights, safety fences were newly installed, and access stairs were refurbished, with special attention paid to accident prevention.
Another notable feature is the replacement of the ground with artificial turf. The hard crushed soil ground was replaced with eco-friendly artificial turf to reduce the risk of injuries. It also has a noise-absorbing effect, which helps prevent disturbances to nearby residential areas.
At the completion ceremony on the 10th, about 70 people including Mayor Kim Kyung-ho, members of the National Assembly, city and district council members, the Gwangjin-gu Sports Council (Chairman Lee Jeong-seop), and the Gwangjin-gu Jokgu Association (Chairman Jang Gi-seol) attended to offer their congratulations.
Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, “Since jokgu is a sport enjoyed by many people regularly, the expansion of the previously insufficient jokgu field is expected to greatly improve user convenience,” and added, “We will continue to develop community sports facilities so that residents can enjoy a healthy and joyful leisure life.”
