Nanji Hangang Park

난지한강공원

Three kilometres of riverside at Sangam-dong, from Hongjecheon Bridge to Nanji Bridge. Footbridges drop into it — one between Noeul Park and Haneul Park, another from Peace Park — so it can be walked into from the World Cup Park side above. Its landmarks are the Nanji campsite, where barbecue and overnight camping are allowed, and the Mirror Fountain, which plays from May to October.

Accessibility and facilities

The Nanji campsite has general and free-pitch zones, a glamping zone, a barbecue zone and a campfire zone. You book through Seoul's public-service reservation site before using it, and it closes on the second Tuesday of every month for grounds maintenance.

The riverside water-play area is built as an infinity pool — the closest view of the river anywhere in the park, the operator says — and kept to a maximum depth of 80 cm so that families with young children can use it together. It holds 1,100 people and opens each summer.

The Nanji cycling park holds a central plaza, a BMX and MTB course, an extreme-riding area and a training ground for small children; the hire point is under the north end of World Cup Bridge. The Nanji ecological wetland, created in 2010 by drawing river water into an artificial marsh, was planted with some 200,000 specimens across about 50 species of aquatic and flowering plants; it is a wildlife protection area and runs a bookable ecology programme. There is an archery range downstream of Gayang Bridge on the north side and a baseball field beside the campsite.

The operator lists the park's amenities as two shops, three car parks, 14 toilets, one playground, plus drinking fountains, sun shelters and seating.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to book to camp?

Yes. The operator directs you to book through Seoul's public-service reservation site before using the campsite. It is divided into general and free-pitch zones, glamping, barbecue and campfire zones, and it closes on the second Tuesday of each month for grounds maintenance. Camping or cooking outside the designated campsite is a prohibited act under the Han River park ordinance.

Can I walk down from Haneul Park or World Cup Park?

There are footbridges. The central one runs from the path between Noeul Park and Haneul Park down to the main lawn here, and a second runs from Peace Park to the Mirror Fountain. From exit 1 at World Cup Stadium station it is about 2,000 m and roughly 30 minutes on foot, over the World Cup ramp bridge between Peace Park and Haneul Park.

When does the Mirror Fountain run?

The operator gives the season as May to October, with July and August as the peak. It stands upstream of World Cup Bridge on the north side, in front of the Peace Park footbridge.

  • Enjoying the Han River Parks

    "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.
