Seoul Expands Pickleball Courts Under Healthy City Scheme
Seoul is adding more pickleball courts to make the sport more accessible.
Right now, there are only eight public courts in the city.
Soon, there will be 22 after a new park opens.
The new courts will cost 8,000 won to rent for two hours, which is much cheaper than other places where you can play pickleball.
This is part of a plan to make Seoul a healthier city.
Seoul currently has 8 public pickleball courts.
14 new courts will open at Gwangnaru Hangang Park by March.
Total courts after expansion will be 22.
Rental cost for new courts is 8,000 won for 2 hours.
Previous public facility rentals cost 20,000 to 30,000 won.
