Nestled in the heart of Seoul’s Yeongdeungpo District, Yeouido Park is a vibrant green space that offers a refreshing escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Once the site of Seoul's first airport in 1924, the area transformed over the decades, officially opening as Yeouido Park in 1999 .

The park is thoughtfully divided into four distinct zones:

Korean Traditional Forest: Showcases native flora and offers a serene environment reminiscent of Korea's natural heritage.

Culture Plaza: A hub for performances and exhibitions, reflecting the dynamic cultural scene of Seoul.

Grass Square: Open lawns perfect for picnics, leisure activities, and community gatherings.

Ecological Forest: A haven for biodiversity, featuring wetlands and diverse plant species .


Beyond its natural beauty, Yeouido Park is renowned for the Yeouido Spring Flower Festival, attracting visitors with its stunning cherry blossoms each spring . The park's proximity to the Han River enhances its appeal, offering picturesque views and opportunities for cycling and leisurely walks along the riverbanks .

Easily accessible via public transportation, with Yeouinaru Station on Seoul Subway Line 5 nearby, Yeouido Park stands as a testament to Seoul's commitment to creating harmonious urban spaces that celebrate both culture and nature.
