According to the "Changwon Park Golf Course Operation and Management Ordinance," the Chuseok holiday is typically designated as a closure period for all park golf courses. However, the city has decided to distribute the closure days and operate the facilities with free access, taking into account both the decline in hot weather and the pleasant conditions for outdoor activities that are ideal for park golf at this time of year.

As for details, the Daesan-myeon and Buk-myeon Disabled Park Golf Courses, which have the highest visitor numbers, will be closed from the 23rd to the 24th, and then open free of charge from the 25th to the 26th. At the remaining seven park golf courses, including Hogye, Yongwon, and Sosa, free access will be granted first from the 23rd to the 24th, followed by closure from the 25th to the 26th.

The operating hours will be the same as the summer schedule, from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and anyone who wishes to enjoy park golf, whether they are Changwon citizens or visitors returning home for the holiday, may use the courses free of charge without restriction.

Kang Giyoon, Mayor of Changwon Special City, stated, "I hope all families can spend a healthy and vibrant holiday across generations by enjoying park golf together during Chuseok," and emphasized, "By distributing closure days, we have minimized service gaps over the holiday, and we are committed to ensuring safe, well-managed facilities so both citizens and returning visitors can use them conveniently."

Offering free access to park golf courses during the Chuseok holiday in Changwon provides families with a great opportunity for healthy exercise and to build stronger bonds of affection through a shared activity.
