Hangang River Citizens Park
is a representative peoples park located by Hangang
River. It was created through the Hangang River
Comprehensive Development Project in the 1980s, covering a huge
area that is dedicated to the citizens, providing areas for sports
and relaxation. You can see many people strolling or
jogging along the trail paths, in-line skaters, bicyclers,
and soccer fields or basketball courts.
The Citizens
Park is composed of Gwangnaru, Jamsil, Ttukseom, Jamwon, Banpo,
Ichon, Yeouido, Yanghwa, Mangwon, Seonyudo, Nanji, and Gangseojigu ?
a total of 12 districts. Each park has its unique
characteristics that fit the district, and especially Yeouido,
Jamsil, and Ttukseom districts are very popular because of the ferry
cruise services on Hangang River. The most popular are
the ones in Yeouido and Ttukseom. Because the Yeouido
area is where all the major TV Studios are located, countless dramas
use this park for their shoots. Here you can also observe
the birds of Bam Isle, a designated ecological preservation
area. On the other hand, Ttukseom district is called the
windsurfing and water-skiing mecca, and you can experience all sorts
of leisure sports here. It is a sports heaven.
Hangang River Citizens Park is beautiful in the evenings as
well, filled with the lights from Hangang River, the surrounding
city buildings, streets, and the traffic. The sound of
the river waves blend well with the citys nightscape. It
is especially good to use the ferry cruise in the evening as well,
viewing the river area and scenery in the pleasant river breeze.
