Yeongdeungpo District in Seoul has completed the construction of a second park golf course along the Anyangcheon area, becoming the first self-governing district in Seoul to offer a 36-hole park golf facility.

According to Yeongdeungpo District on June 26, the district held a commemorative plaque unveiling ceremony for the completion of the "Yeongdeungpo Second Park Golf Course" at Anyangcheon on this day, marking the start of full-scale preparations for operation. The event was attended by Choi Hogwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo District, officials from the Sports Council and the Park Golf Association, as well as local residents. The ceremony included the unveiling, the ceremonial first stroke, and a facility inspection.

The newly completed second course, located at 33-3 Yangpyeong-dong, features 18 holes on a grass plaza. With the addition of this course to the existing first course, the district now offers a 36-hole park golf facility spanning a total area of 39,033 square meters.

During the development process, there were repeated requests for improvements concerning river occupancy and flood safety. However, the district persistently pushed the project forward by coordinating with relevant agencies and collecting feedback from residents. As a result, it obtained river occupancy approval in January this year and completed construction this month.

Yeongdeungpo District, which established Korea's first park golf course at Yeouido Hangang Park in 2004, is considered the birthplace of park golf in Korea. The district expects that the creation of this 36-hole facility will serve as a catalyst for becoming a central hub in the Seoul metropolitan area. The facility is scheduled to officially open in September this year after obtaining completion approval and making preparations for operation. Additional convenience facilities will also be provided before the grand opening.

Mayor Choi Hogwon stated, "This achievement is the result of many years of our residents' aspirations," adding, "We will continue to develop this as the finest sports and recreation facility in Seoul, ensuring it lives up to Yeongdeungpo's status as the birthplace of park golf, and that it is safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for all."
