Yangjae Citizen's Forest, Urban forest park in Seocho District, Seoul, South Korea
Yangjae Citizen's Forest is a wooded park in Seocho District with dense trees, walking trails, and sports facilities scattered across its grounds. The park also includes several memorial halls and structures dedicated to historical figures and events.
The park was built in 1986 after three years of construction as part of Seoul's preparations for major sporting events. This timing shaped its role as a modern recreational space developed during a period of urban expansion.
The park serves as a gathering space where people find shade under tall trees and walk along quiet paths, creating a natural retreat from the busy streets of Seoul.
The park is within walking distance of a metro station, making it easy to reach without a car. It has tennis courts, basketball areas, and ample parking for those who drive.
The park holds memorials honoring victims of historical disasters, adding a layer of meaning beyond its recreational purpose. These tribute spaces transform it into a place of reflection as well as leisure.
