Previously, the city signed its first facility opening agreement with 10 schools in September 2023, and 11 schools opened their facilities last year. Including this year’s agreement, a total of 31 schools have participated in opening their facilities in 2025.

As a result, in the Ansan area, 38 gymnasiums, 31 athletic fields, 2 unused classrooms, and 25 night-time parking lots at schools will be made available to residents.

For schools that open their facilities, the city will provide various forms of support, including incentives based on opening hours, subsidies for public operation costs, enrollment in liability insurance for user accidents, support for management personnel, additional points when allocating educational expenses, and priority support for facility maintenance costs. The Ansan Sports Council will also assist by managing one-on-one pairings between its affiliated clubs and the participating schools, as well as designating and managing facility administrators.

Ansan Mayor Mingeun Lee stated, "We will continue to strengthen the cooperation system between the community and schools through administrative and financial support," adding, "We plan to expand the opening of school facilities to all schools in the city to support residents' leisure and convenience activities."
