Seoul Grand Park

Seoul Grand Park is a large recreational space in Gwacheon that combines gardens, walking paths, and animal exhibits across different themed areas. The grounds also include a contemporary art museum and glasshouse complex alongside open green spaces.

The park opened in 1977 as a new concept for urban recreation in South Korea. Over time it evolved into a significant public space combining nature, animals, and cultural institutions.

The National Museum of Contemporary Art within the park grounds presents exhibitions of Korean modern art, connecting nature with artistic expression.

The park is easily reached from Gwacheon subway station with shuttle services available for visitors. Walking paths are well-maintained throughout, making it simple to navigate the different areas on foot.

The glasshouse complex holds more than 1,000 plant species from Korea and around the world. Visitors can discover rare plants and botanical specimens rarely seen elsewhere.
