I keep forgetting the dates whenever I try to book... ㅠ

If you click the section above, there are various menus. Don’t get lost in the wrong place! lol

In particular, weekend reservations require a lottery. Weekend applications must be made on the 4th of every month, and reservations for remaining facilities after the lottery start from 9:00 AM on the 15th of every month. You need to keep a close eye on this.
For your reference, if there is a person with a disability in the family,

The available locations are as follows.
The usage fees also seem very affordable.
Common folks like me should use them often.

Conclusion of this post: Remember 9:00 AM on the 4th of every month, and remember 9:00 AM on the 15th of every month.
