Nowon-gu Opens Jungnangcheon 1st and 2nd Park Golf Courses

Operation on a First-Come, First-Served Reservation Basis After Opening on May 2
Applications Accepted Starting April 14
Nowon-gu Supports Residents' Healthy Leisure Life
by Expanding Community Sports Infrastructure

Nowon-gu (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) announced that the 1st and 2nd Park Golf Courses located along the Jungnangcheon Stream will officially open on May 2.

Park golf is a sport that differs from traditional golf in that it is smaller in scale and has simpler rules, making it easy for people of all ages and genders to enjoy. It is especially gaining attention as a healthy leisure activity for seniors and people with disabilities due to its characteristics of requiring less physical exertion while ensuring sufficient activity.

In 2015, the district established the 1st Jungnangcheon Park Golf Course at 230-10 Wolgye-dong (near Wolgye Station) and has been operating it mainly for vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities who have limited access to sports facilities. However, due to the limited space compared to the increasing demand, the district added the 2nd Park Golf Course last year at 754-14 Sanggye-dong (near Nokcheon Bridge to Danghyeoncheon) and began temporary operations. Welcoming the spring season when community sports become lively, the district decided to officially open the 1st and 2nd Park Golf Courses and expand the user base to operate them in a more systematic and stable manner.

The official opening of the 1st and 2nd Jungnangcheon Park Golf Courses will be on May 2. Anyone, including Nowon-gu residents, can use the facilities, and reservations will be operated on a first-come, first-served basis through the ‘Online Registration’ on the Nowon-gu Office website. The first reservation before the opening will start on April 14. Residents (including registered disabled persons) can apply from the 14th to the 18th, and non-residents can apply from the 17th to the 18th. After that, reservations can be made sequentially from Monday to Friday two weeks before the month of use every month.

The operating schedule differs for each park golf course. The 1st Park Golf Course is available only to registered disabled persons every Tuesday from 2 PM to 5 PM, and open to everyone on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 AM to 12 PM. The 2nd Park Golf Course is open to everyone every Tuesday from 9 AM to 12 PM, and Wednesdays and Fridays from 2 PM to 5 PM.

Both park golf courses operate annually from May to December, and are closed every Monday.

To maintain a pleasant environment, the district will restrict the entry of pets and establish a separate safety management plan to deploy safety personnel.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “With the official opening of the park golf courses, they have become spaces that more residents can enjoy,” and added, “We hope everyone enjoys a healthy leisure life amidst the beautiful nature of Jungnangcheon.”
