Mangwon Hangang Park
망원한강공원
A 7.4 km stretch of the north bank between Wonhyo Bridge and Seongsan Bridge. Its flood plain is open lawn with long sightlines, and downstream of Seongsan Bridge sits Seoul Battleship Park, built around three decommissioned naval vessels. Mangwon is not on the operator's list of the river's twelve bicycle-hire points, so a bike has to be brought here or hired in another district.

Accessibility and facilities
Seoul Battleship Park, downstream of Seongsan Bridge on the north side, was the city's first naval theme park, built around three decommissioned vessels including a Chamsuri patrol boat and a submarine. The operator keeps separate visitor information for it and publishes no admission price on this page.
The flood plain is laid to lawn, which the operator gives as the reason the outlook is so open, with a well-organised set of paths across it. The cycle path runs 7.2 km, of which 3.1 km is shared with pedestrians and 2.1 km with vehicles.
On the water there is a training centre used for survival-swimming instruction, along with a floating restaurant and café and hire of yachts, pedal boats, motorboats and kayaks. The Mangwon slipway is listed as unavailable from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2028. The operator names Seoul Battleship Park, the Mangwon green walk, Mangwonjeong pavilion and the Maponaru sculpture as the district's landmarks.
The operator lists the park's amenities as two shops, four car parks, two playgrounds, 11 toilets and drinking fountains.
Nearby
Mangwon Market
It opens at 10:00, later than Seoul's other well-known markets, which makes it a practical first stop after a slow start.
Seonyudo Park
An island waterworks on the Han that was turned into a park without being torn down. Its concrete tanks and settling basins remain, now planted as beds and ponds, and unlike most city parks it keeps set hours and shuts at midnight.
Yanghwa Hangang Park
A 5.9 km stretch of the south bank from the mouth of the Yeouido Saetgang up to Gayang Bridge. Roses come out from May along the cycle path under Seonyu Bridge, and exit 4 of Dangsan station reaches the park directly over a 200 m footbridge with a lift on it. The operator singles out the view from its broad riverside lawn as one that is hard to find elsewhere.
MUSINSA GARAGE
A small live room on Jandari-ro in Hongdae, shared between indie bands and rookie-idol showcases. It is the size of room you drop into in the evening after a day spent walking Hongdae.
Frequently asked questions
Can I hire a bicycle here?
No. The operator's list of Hangang park bicycle-hire points runs to twelve, and Mangwon is not on it. On the north bank the hire points are at Ttukseom, Ichon and Nanji, so to use the 7.2 km of cycle path here you need to bring a bike or ride in from another district.
Can I launch a boat from the Mangwon slipway?
Not at the moment. The operator lists the Mangwon slipway — the ramp used to get craft down to the water — as unavailable from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2028. The district's other water facilities are unaffected: the training centre used for survival-swimming instruction, and hire of yachts, pedal boats, motorboats and kayaks.
Is Seoul Battleship Park free?
The Hangang park itself is free, but Seoul Battleship Park is run with its own visitor information and the operator publishes no price for it on this page. Check the battleship park's own notice before you go.

"The Han River park" is eleven parks, not one. Which district you pick decides what you can actually do that day, and that is where most trips go wrong.
