On the 14th, Icheon City announced that the Jung-ri District multipurpose indoor gymnasium was selected in the ‘2024 National Sports Center Construction Support Project’ competition hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, securing 3 billion KRW from the National Sports Promotion Fund.

The National Sports Center Construction Project aims to establish public sports facility infrastructure that local residents can easily access near their homes to promote community sports and improve residents' quality of life.

With this selection, the city plans to build a multipurpose indoor gymnasium with three above-ground floors and a total floor area of 2,380㎡ within Jung-ri Neighborhood Park, located in the center of Jung-ri District. The gymnasium will also include a health measurement and exercise prescription room considering the elderly population, a GX room, and a screen park golf course.

In addition to the 3 billion KRW fund, 7 billion KRW of city funds will be invested in the project. The city plans to proceed with selecting the winning design through a design competition and conducting design services, aiming for completion in December 2025.

Kim Kyung-hee, mayor of Icheon City, said, "With this selection, we can reduce the city's financial burden for building the multipurpose indoor gymnasium," adding, "We will prepare without any setbacks so that local residents, who lacked community sports infrastructure, can easily use the facilities."
