After its completion last September, the Bundang-gu Geumgok Park National Sports Center, whose opening preparations were delayed due to the postponement of the supplementary budget allocation, will begin pilot operations of some facilities starting January next year.

Seongnam City initially planned to officially open the Geumgok Park National Sports Center in February next year, following the completion of safety facility enhancements, convenience facility construction, purchase of exercise equipment and other supplies, and establishment of a membership management program.

To this end, after the completion of the National Sports Center, Seongnam City signed a management and operation consignment agreement with Seongnam Urban Development Corporation and requested the city council to approve the supplementary budget, which included expenses for installing an electronic display board and purchasing exercise equipment (364.69 million KRW), as well as the consignment operation fee for Seongnam Urban Development Corporation (942.59 million KRW).

However, the city council approved the supplementary budget on the 13th of this month, about two months later than planned. Seongnam City decided to focus administrative efforts on the National Sports Center and proceed with pilot operations in January next year, followed by the official opening in February as originally planned.

A Seongnam City official stated, "Despite setbacks in the essential budget for opening, we are accelerating preparations for a swift opening, planning to conduct pilot operations in January next year, hold an opening ceremony in February, and commence full operations."
