About ten thousand and several hundred square meters of area around the Taedong Gate, located in the heart of the city, turned into a park for physical training. The park has courts for roller skating, volleyball, basketball and badminton, with different kinds of gymnastic tools installed. It is decorated with good species of trees and turf as well as chairs and benches under trees.

Several parks of such kind take their shape on the banks of the Pothong and Taedong rivers.

Ri Il Song, a staff at the Pyongyang City People's Committee, told KCNA:

"With ardent patriotism, servicepersons are undertaking the building of the parks.

The dear respected Kim Jong Un visited the People's Open-Air Ice Rink and Skate Park ready to open and appreciated sports games some days ago. He also took a measure to organize the State Physical Culture and Sports Guidance Commission. This represents his deep concern for the nation's sports development."
