One-Line Summary:

Whether you're cycling along the river or relaxing with your family on the grass, Yeouido Hangang Park offers the perfect escape from the city's hustle.

🌿 A Serene Riverside Retreat in Seoul

Located in the heart of Seoul yet far from its noise, Yeouido Hangang Park is a haven for those seeking calm and beauty by the river. Spanning along the southern banks of the Han River, this park blends wide open spaces, scenic bike trails, and family-friendly spots — all in one perfect package.



🚴‍♂️ Cycling with the Breeze

One of the most popular ways to enjoy the park is by riding a bike along the riverside paths. The trails are flat, wide, and offer stunning views of the Han River and Seoul’s skyline. Whether you’re a casual rider or a speedster, there’s a route for everyone.

Bike Rental Tips:

  • Available near Yeouinaru Station (Exit 2)
  • Rentals from ₩3,000/hour
  • Tandem bikes and kids’ bikes also available

The feeling of the cool river breeze brushing past as you ride — especially in the afternoon sun — is something you’ll want to come back for.



👨‍👩‍👧 Family Time on the Grass

For families, Yeouido Hangang Park is a favorite weekend destination. You’ll see kids flying kites, couples picnicking under parasols, and seniors taking walks along the cherry blossom path. The park has:

  • Spacious grass lawns for laying out picnic mats
  • Convenience stores and food trucks nearby
  • Restrooms, shaded benches, and playgrounds

Bring a mat, some snacks, and a speaker — and you’ve got yourself a perfect day out.
