Olympic Park

We visited Seoul Olympic Park and really enjoyed the mix of nature, art, and history. The park is huge, with beautiful walking paths, sculptures, and peaceful green areas. It’s a great place to relax, take photos, or just enjoy the atmosphere.

A really big park in the heart of Seoul. This was built to commemorate the Olympic hosted by Korea in 1988. They kept the fire burning at the gate since they opened the park. There kids riding their bikes, some were on their roller blades and skate boards. There's a big lagoon with ducks and large fish (carps). Plenty of benches to sit in and relax. There's lots of trails for walking and running. We got to an area with nice grass, I thought it was a golf course. It was an open field for picnic and was beside an ongoing excavation of an ancient village during the Baekje Dynasty. Then we got to the sports stadiums (handball, swimming etc) open to the public. We took a leisurely walk around for over 2 hours. Restrooms are everywhere. Vending machines are everywhere too with options for hot and cold beverages. They take cards and coins. There's convenience stores as well. There's lots of birds and cats! We also bumped into a camera club group. This is by far, one of the best parks I visited in Korea.

Beautiful and spacious park built for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. A great place to walk around, relax, and explore the impressive Olympic infrastructure that still stands. Perfect for a peaceful break and some great photo opportunities!

The best time to visit this park during autumn is around Oct 27th to Oct 31st. If you visit later than that, I don't think the cosmos flowers are still there. Around that time, you can still see cosmos flowers and the trees are already turning yellow and red

It's a really beautiful park, very large and some really nice views of the city from there. There were plenty of food trucks and some nice memorabilia from the 1988 Olympics. It is definitely worth spending an hour or two there to really explore the place.

You can't visit the capital, Seoul, without visiting its Olympic Park. It's a great place to relax and unwind amidst nature and tranquility. I highly recommend it.

I expect to see the roses' garden, but they set it up with the small area. It is a huge park and has a lot of parking space.

A really beautiful place to enjoy a nice walk in nature, if you're not up for yet another mountain hike. A bit retired from the busy heart of the city, the air here is cleaner, fresher, the view beautiful in every season, although the famous pink mushy plants are what draw in the most people, and for good reason. The sunsets from atop the small hills are not so different from the paying ones you can see from Lotte Tower, and the resulting pictures are less crowded, more candid, and with a nice, almost nostalgic vibe. There are a few restaurants at the very beginning, where the stadium is, and a few, quite dispersed, toilets around, too.
