Gwangjin-gu Closed Hyayang Elementary School Playground Used as Temporary Parking Lot

Partial Opening of 25 Sports Fields from Mid-December... Gwangjin-gu Facility Management Corporation Entrusted to Operate with Resident Priority Parking System... 24-Hour Unmanned Integrated Control System and Day-Night Patrol Teams to Ensure No Inconvenience to Residents

Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) will temporarily open part of the old Hwayang Elementary School playground as a parking lot starting from mid-December.

The district had previously signed a business agreement with the Seongdong Gwangjin Office of Education to temporarily open the old Hwayang Elementary School, which was closed last March due to a decrease in student numbers, as a community space until construction begins.

After continuous consultations and gathering residents' opinions, the foundation for creating a parking lot was established. The developed area utilizes part of the playground to provide 25 parking spaces, and the operation period will be from mid-December until the end of December 2025.

The Gwangjin-gu Facilities Management Corporation will manage the parking lot using a resident-priority parking system. Resident-priority parking will be selected from applicants on the waiting list for resident-priority parking in Hwayang-dong, applying a scoring system based on residency duration and special bonus points.

Additionally, a 24-hour unmanned integrated control system will be introduced for efficient operation. Day and night patrol teams will be organized to monitor illegal parking and prevent safety accidents, ensuring no inconvenience to residents.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “This temporary open parking lot was achieved through continuous communication,” and added, “I hope it will be used as a useful space for local residents.”
