This space is the city's first integrated-generation facility, providing a place of rest and memories for seniors and residents, and a space for youth to nurture their dreams. It was built on the site of the former small library. Out of the total project cost of 3.6 billion won, 800 million won was funded by a special grant, and 2.8 billion won was provided by the city. Construction began in December 2024 and was completed in November 2025.
The complex consists of two separate buildings: 'FunGround Sudong' is housed in the first building, while 'Ipseok 3-ri Village Hall' occupies the second.
'FunGround Sudong' is a dedicated youth space with a total floor area of 640 square meters and two stories. The entire facility is designed with a youth-centered approach, allowing young people to participate in activities safely and freely.
Main facilities include: △ a lounge for board games and relaxation; △ a multi-sports area for dance practice and AR sports; and △ a classroom for various activities. In addition, △ a shared kitchen for simple meals and △ popular youth amenities such as a karaoke room and self-photo booth are also provided, drawing attention from visitors.
'Ipseok 3-ri Village Hall' has a total floor area of 115 square meters and serves as a daily gathering space for local seniors and residents. While the previous village hall had a shared space for both men and women, the new facility features separate areas for each, ensuring independence and convenience.
Furthermore, the two buildings are naturally connected by a corridor, allowing the first and third generations to interact and mingle in a shared space.
