Directions

Built for the 1988 Seoul Olympics, this sprawling 1.4 square kilometer park is one of the city's most underrated green spaces, dotted with over 200 outdoor sculptures and vast open lawns. The park hosts major music festivals like KSPO Dome concerts and the annual Rose Festival in spring. It's far less crowded than central parks and beloved by locals for picnics, cycling, and leisurely strolls past the ancient Mongchontoseong earthen fortress walls.
