Emphasizing Clear Management Responsibility
and Connection with the Tourism Industry

The Culture and Environment Committee of the Gumi City Council in North Gyeongsang Province has inspected the operation of Gumi City Park Golf Courses and sought ways to improve them.

The Culture and Environment Committee of the 285th Extraordinary Session of Gumi City Council, Gyeongbuk, is taking a commemorative photo after an on-site visit to Dongnak Park Golf Course.

The committee announced on the 17th that, during the 285th temporary session of the Gumi City Council, it visited park golf courses within Gumi City to examine the facilities and listen to reports on their current operation.

The Gumi Nakdonggang Park Golf Course, established on the banks of the Nakdong River, was created to allow citizens to enjoy leisure activities in a nature-friendly environment.

Currently, a total of eight locations with 243 holes (including a park golf course for people with disabilities) are in operation, making it the largest in North Gyeongsang Province. As the courses are open to the public free of charge, the usage rate among citizens is high.

On this day, members of the Culture and Environment Committee visited the Yangpo and Dongrak Park Golf Courses to inspect the condition of the facilities and held lengthy discussions with officials from Gumi City and Gumi Urban Corporation.

The committee members stated, "Operational measures must be established to ensure that all citizens can use the facilities fairly," and added, "In particular, efforts should be made to maximize the advantages of park golf courses by considering their connection to revitalizing the local economy and the tourism industry."

Committee Chair Kim Jaeu emphasized, "To ensure consistent operation of the park golf courses, the managing entity must be clearly defined and a long-term vision should be established," and continued, "Gumi City should actively seek ways to connect the courses with the tourism industry."

He also requested close cooperation with the city council regarding the selection of the operating entity and the determination of usage fees.
