Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) held an opening ceremony on the 27th for ‘Hwarangmaeul Senior Center,’ the first senior complex cultural space in Jungnang-gu.

About 50 people, including Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi of Jungnang-gu, local residents, and members of senior citizen clubs, attended the ceremony to celebrate the occasion.

The existing Hwarangmaeul Senior Citizen Club, built in 1977, was established with donations from local residents and has served as the heart of the community for over 40 years. Due to the aging facilities causing inconvenience, and following suggestions from local residents, the site was donated back to the district, leading to the construction of the new Hwarangmaeul Senior Center on the former senior citizen club site.

The opening ceremony included sharing the process of transforming the senior citizen club into the senior center, touring the facilities, and celebrating together.

Located in Muk 1-dong, the Hwarangmaeul Senior Center was completed after about a year of construction, with a total floor area of 487.7㎡ and five floors above ground. The center offers various facilities for seniors’ convenience, including ▲parking lot ▲senior citizen club ▲multipurpose program room ▲Jungnang Senior Club ▲rooftop rest area.

In particular, the Jungnang Senior Club includes office and educational spaces to support senior job discovery, training, and follow-up management. As a result, it is expected to become an excellent public complex space that maintains the functions of the existing senior citizen club while providing diverse senior job programs.

Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi of Jungnang-gu said, "I hope the Hwarangmaeul Senior Center becomes a beneficial recreational space for local seniors and a place that offers opportunities to expand jobs." He added, "We will continue to strive to provide better environments for seniors and make Jungnang-gu a better place to live."
