Geolpo Multipurpose Gymnasium Renovation
Pungmu National Sports Center Renovation
Gimpo City in Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Kim Byungsoo) has been selected for the "2026 Public Sports Facility Renovation Support Project," which is funded by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. As a result, the city will receive 210 million won in national funding, accounting for 30% of the total project cost of 700 million won, for two projects to be carried out in 2026.
This support project, promoted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism through the National Sports Promotion Fund, aims to improve aging public sports facilities, ensure safe sports activities for users, and enhance user convenience.
Gimpo City, in cooperation with the Gimpo Urban Management Corporation, plans to inspect public sports facilities within the city and incorporate citizens' requests. The city will proceed with the replacement of air handling units and lockers at the Geolpo Multipurpose Gymnasium, built in 2006, and the Pungmu National Sports Center, built in 2013. The two projects will receive investments of 140 million won and 560 million won, respectively.
A Gimpo City official stated, "This national funding support is very meaningful, as it not only reduces the budget but also allows us to renovate aging public sports facilities, enhance their safety, and create a more pleasant sports environment, thereby contributing to the improvement of citizens' health."
