Enjoy Culture in Your Neighborhood Park... Operated “Cultural Performances · Fitness Programs · Academies”

내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will run cultural performances, fitness programs, and academies at eight parks throughout the city from July to November.

Until now, cultural performances, fitness programs, and academies held in parks were operated individually. Starting this year, the city plans to organize and operate these programs systematically so that citizens can enjoy cultural enrichment in their daily lives.

The eight participating parks are:
▲ Yongdusan Park (Jung-gu) ▲ Amnam Park (Seo-gu) ▲ Gamgogae Park (Busanjin-gu) ▲ UN Peace Park (Nam-gu) ▲ Daecheon Park (Haeundae-gu) ▲ Eden Park (Saha-gu) ▲ Hoam Neighborhood Park (Suyeong-gu) ▲ Saemaeul Children’s Park (Gijang-gun)

Busan Metropolitan City will integrate each park’s facilities and unique characteristics with cultural content to operate diverse leisure programs, including:
▲ Monthly cultural performances ▲ Two to three weekly fitness classes ▲ Indoor academies, from July 12 to November.

On July 12 at 6:00 p.m., a performance by the male popera group Vita Felice and a juggling act will kick off the event series at the outdoor stage in Yongdusan Park (Jung-gu). Starting July 14, fitness programs will begin at each participating park.

Through these programs, the city aims to provide local artists—who have faced limited opportunities for performances—with a platform to showcase their talents, while offering park visitors joyful, culturally enriched experiences.

Cultural performances will be free of charge and do not require prior registration. However, fitness and academy programs will require pre-registration. To accommodate senior citizens who may be unfamiliar with online platforms, in-person registration will also be accepted.

Registration can be made in person (24th floor, Park Leisure Policy Division, Busan City Hall, 1001 Jungang-daero, Yeonje-gu, Busan) or by email (limen2016@naver.com) and Naver Form (https://naver.me/GA8MONQT). If the number of applicants exceeds the capacity, participants will be selected by lottery.

Program updates will be available on the city website (www.busan.go.kr/depart/culture01).

Ahn Cheol-soo, Director General of Busan’s Green City Bureau, stated, “This program was created to allow citizens to conveniently enjoy a variety of cultural and leisure activities close to home. We hope everyone enjoys a daily life harmoniously blended with parks and culture. We will continue to expand accessible leisure and cultural programs for all.”
