• With a spacious site of about 140,000 square meters, it features grassy plazas, walking paths, and a variety of play facilities, making it a top choice for family outings.

Why it is great to visit with children

1. Multiple playgrounds and a sand playground

   • Inside the park, you will find a sand playground for children and a variety of play equipment. There is a "sand playground" and a "regular playground that is not a sand playground."
   • In summer, a water play playground also operates, offering cool fun for kids tired from the heat.
   • The children's sand playground has fairly steep stairs and slides, and there are often many bigger kids, so it can be a bit risky for infants and toddlers.

2. Wide and green grassy plazas

   • There are 3 large grassy plazas, where you can enjoy a picnic, catch, and free play.
   • There are many family visitors, so on weekends you can feel a lively atmosphere.

3. Seasonal scenery and walking paths all year round

   • Beautiful seasonal scenery can be seen throughout the park. In spring, you can enjoy double cherry blossoms, and in autumn, fall foliage and wide riverside views.
   • The waterside deck trail called Lohas Happy Road along Daecheong Lake is also well maintained, and there is a cherry blossom path in spring, making it a lovely place to walk. You can observe birds and nature, and during cherry blossom season, a spectacular view of pink double cherry blossoms unfolds.

4. Comfortable convenience facilities

   • Basic facilities are well provided, including a spacious free parking lot, a snack shop, clean restrooms, and resting shelters.

Operation and visiting tips

• The park is open all year round without closing days and can be used free of charge.
• The snack shop near the children's playground sells simple drinks and snacks.
• There are no separate trash cans or recycling stations, so you must take all trash you brought with you back home.
• It is more comfortable if you come in the morning and settle in early.
• In spring and autumn, bringing a picnic mat, snacks, and play items can make your time here even more meaningful.
• Since it is close to the riverside, there may be mosquitoes and bugs, so it is a good idea to prepare a little insect protection.
