About this place

Seoul Forest is an urban park opened in 2005 on the former Ttukseom grounds, and is divided into four zones: Culture & Arts Park, Nature Experience Study Garden, Eco Forest, and Wetlands Ecological Garden. In spring, cherry blossoms and tulips bloom, and a metasequoia road runs through the park, with picnic lawns and deer feeding for families. Bordered by the Hangang River, the park offers natural scenery year-round and holds the distinction of being Seoul's first citizen-led park.
