Taking the Lead in Creating a Safe Environment for Everyday Sports Activities
Seongsan-gu in Changwon Special City, Gyeongsangnam-do is conducting safety inspections on convenience facilities for citizens, such as exercise equipment, pavilions, and benches, at 51 public sports facilities in the district before spring, when outdoor activities increase.
Seongsan-gu explained that the safety inspections, which have been carried out since February 23, are intended to prevent potential safety accidents that may occur due to ground changes caused by freezing and deformation of sports facilities, taking into account the seasonal characteristics of the transition from winter to spring.
Focusing on the Culture and Hygiene Division of the district office, Seongsan-gu plans to form inspection teams in eight neighborhoods to check whether any parts are missing from exercise equipment at sports facilities in community playgrounds and whether their foundations are securely fixed, as well as to inspect the fastening condition of the wood and the degree of paint deterioration on pavilions and benches.
Kim Suyun, head of the Culture and Hygiene Division, said, "Through these safety inspections ahead of the thaw season, we will ensure and continuously manage the safety of public sports facilities so that residents can engage in physical activities in a safer and more pleasant environment."
