Park Golf Popularity... Yongsan-gu Opens Park Golf Classes in 13 Neighborhoods

Yongsan-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Park Hee-young) is opening and operating the first neighborhood sports park golf class in Seoul. As the popularity of park golf has recently surged, but it has been difficult to meet the demand of local sports enthusiasts, the district has taken direct action.

This neighborhood sports class is a project to nurture and support sports enthusiast organizations voluntarily formed by local residents. In March last year, the district conducted a demand survey for the park golf class targeting local residents, and classes were newly established in Huam-dong and Namyeong-dong last year. This is the first neighborhood sports project created in Seoul. As a result of the second demand survey, 11 additional neighborhoods participated, making a total of 13 neighborhood park golf classes this year.

Currently, the park golf classes are held at the Namyeong-dong outdoor sports facility park golf practice ground, which is an open public sports facility. The number of facility users among enthusiasts has reached 400. To ensure safe and pleasant facility management, the district held meetings with the presidents of the 13 neighborhood park golf classes and assigned three workers for on-site management.

Meanwhile, the district also operates 75 various neighborhood sports classes, including badminton classes, gateball classes, and jokgu classes.

District Mayor Park Hee-young stated, “We will continue to lead efforts to improve the quality of life for residents by discovering more programs that many residents can enjoy and creating a healthy neighborhood sports environment.”
