Once the site of Seoul's first water source, this area was transformed in 2005 into a sprawling urban forest along the Han River. It features distinct zones including a cultural arts park, an ecological forest, and a wetland reserve, perfect for leisurely strolls or bike rides. What makes it truly special is that citizens have shaped both its design and ongoing programs from the very beginning.
과거 상수원 수원지였던 부지가 2005년 도심 속 대규모 생태공원으로 탈바꿈했습니다. 문화예술공원, 생태숲, 습지생태원 등 개성 있는 구역이 한강변을 따라 펼쳐져 산책과 자전거 라이딩을 즐기기 좋습니다. 시민들의 아이디어와 참여로 함께 가꿔온 공간이라는 점도 이곳만의 특별한 매력입니다.
