Yeongdeungpo-gu signed a business agreement with the Seoul Southern Office of Education for this project, and through continuous collaboration, achieved the result of being selected for the public contest. This project aims to provide necessary public education and sports facilities to residents by utilizing the Singil-dong site that was received as a donation site.

In particular, the facility will include an indoor gymnasium and swimming pool , a program room linked to care education, and a multipurpose room. These spaces will serve as a local community hub that can be freely used by all ages. In addition, an indoor swimming pool where ‘survival swimming’ education can be taught will be built in the basement of the children’s park, providing a spacious and comfortable environment.

Yeongdeungpo-gu District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon said, “With this public offering selection, we have secured stable project funds, making it possible to build a school complex facility for both students and local residents,” and added, “We will do our best to realize Yeongdeungpo-gu as a future education city.”

This project aims to hold a design competition in 2026, begin construction in 2027, and be completed in December 2028.
