[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) opened a park golf practice range on the 2nd by creating it in the idle space of Jamsil Retention Basin.

'Park Golf' is a type of golf enjoyed in small green spaces like parks, which has fewer restrictions on space and equipment, and is a sport that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can enjoy in nature.

Although the number of park golf enthusiasts is steadily increasing, the history of its introduction is not long, so various facilities including practice ranges are not keeping up with the demand.

Accordingly, the district utilized the idle space of Jamsil Retention Basin to create a 'Park Golf Practice Range' with five batting stations for all residents to enjoy.

The usage hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. However, due to the characteristics of the retention basin, use is restricted during rainy weather or the rainy season.

In addition, the district completed thorough disinfection and preparations before opening in accordance with quarantine guidelines. Songpa-gu Mayor Park Seong-su said, "I hope the opening of the park golf practice range will serve as a catalyst to bring vitality to the daily lives of residents, which have been stagnant due to COVID-19," and added, "We will continue to actively expand public sports facilities and do our best to promote residents' health and leisure."
