This project was promoted based on a business agreement between Yangsan City and Dongwon Institute of Science and Technology.

The facility improvement project was completed in December last year, with a total investment of 574 million KRW, including 454 million KRW from the city budget. The main aspects of the project included the demolition and reinforcement of outdated facilities, installation of artificial turf on the soccer field, and improvements to the track and stands.

The improved sports field is now open to citizens from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. on weekdays, and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and public holidays. This initiative aims to foster cooperation between the university and the local community, providing citizens with more opportunities to exercise freely. Residents can now more easily use the sports facilities, which is expected to greatly contribute to the promotion of sports for all and the improvement of public health in the local community.

Mayor Na Dongyeon said, "I hope the improved Dongwon Institute of Science and Technology sports field will become a place for students to build their physical strength for new challenges, and that opening the facility will serve as a stepping stone for more citizens to enjoy exercise in their daily lives."
