Parking lot information can be checked through the Gongyu Nuri website and app, and detailed information such as the location, operating hours, number of parking spaces, and contact information of the open parking lots can also be found on public data portals like Naver Map, KakaoMap, T Map, and the Gyeongbuk Office of Education website (Information Plaza - Notices).
