Official Operation Begins in July After Facility Review

Yongin Special City in Gyeonggi Province announced on May 8 that it will temporarily open sports facilities, such as soccer fields and a baseball stadium, which are being constructed as part of the "Yongin Ecotown Development Project" at Yongin Respia in Pogok-eup, Cheoin-gu.

Yongin Ecotown is a project to install a second-phase sewage treatment facility with a daily capacity of 22,000 tons, a food waste treatment facility with a capacity of 250 tons, and a sludge recycling facility with a capacity of 220 tons, all within 51,046 square meters of underground space on a 101,177 square meter site at Yongin Respia. The project is expected to be completed by the end of June 2026.

Above ground, two soccer fields, one baseball stadium, and a multipurpose gymnasium will be built for citizens.

While the city is significantly expanding Yongin Respia’s environmental infrastructure, most of the facilities have been constructed underground, with the ground level being developed as a sports park for citizens’ health and relaxation.

With the official opening scheduled for July, the city will temporarily operate the sports facilities, such as the soccer fields, on weekends and public holidays until the end of June, excluding weekdays.

During the temporary opening period, the usage fee is 50,000 won per session for a soccer field and 70,000 won per session for the baseball stadium.

An official from Yongin City stated, "This temporary opening is intended to check for any necessary facility improvements. Once Yongin Ecotown is completed and the sports facilities such as the soccer fields officially open, the usage fees will be adjusted," adding, "During the temporary operation of the sports facilities, we ask for your cooperation so that only a minimum number of people use the facilities for safety reasons."
