Opened 'Chungui Shelter' in Anyang Capital Corps... Rest Space for Citizens and Soldiers

Opening Ceremony of Chungui Rest Area

Recently, the ‘Chungui Rest Area’ opened inside the Sudogundan Sports Facility in Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, available for use by Anyang citizens and military personnel.

This rest area was created by transforming a well-preserved oak forest within the Sudogundan into a resting space to provide a place for relaxation for citizens and soldiers using the sports facilities.

The sports facility, which opened in July last year, is equipped with a soccer field, futsal court, and jokgu court, and is available for use by citizens and military personnel who apply through the Anyang Urban Corporation website.

The newly established Chungui Rest Area covers a total area of 426㎡ (129 pyeong) and consists of a stage and seating area, furnished with parasols, tables, and chairs for comfortable rest. The facilities are constructed with eco-friendly wooden decks, and landscape lighting has been installed around the area.

The opening hours are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays during the winter season (November to February), with extended hours on Wednesdays, weekends, and during the summer season. Additionally, photography is prohibited to maintain military facility security.

In Anyang, where urbanization has been completed and available land is scarce, utilizing the well-preserved natural space within the base as a rest area is expected to boost the morale of military personnel and contribute to the health promotion of citizens.

Mayor Choi Dae-ho of Anyang stated, "This will serve as a model case for creating a communication platform among civilians, government, and military," adding, "I hope this place will continue to evolve into a space where various cultural and sports activities take place, fostering communication and growth."

Earlier, to commemorate the creation of the rest area, Anyang held an opening ceremony and the ‘Autumn Love October Healing Concert’ with soldiers on the 30th of last month.
