A Park That Touches the Sky in the Heart of Seoul
If you're looking to experience nature during your trip to Seoul, Sky Park is a must-visit destination. Located in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, it was once a landfill but has been transformed into an eco-park sitting 98 meters above sea level. Its vast grasslands and seasonal silver grass fields make it a favorite for both locals and international travelers, especially during the fall when the annual Silver Grass Festival turns the park into a silver sea.
What Makes Sky Park Special
Silver Grass Fields, Pink Muhly, and Seasonal Flowers
In fall, the silver grass fields become a breathtaking sight, with numerous photo spots perfect for capturing unforgettable moments. Throughout the year, the park features seasonal flower gardens including pink muhly, cosmos, and sunflowers, offering new scenery with every visit.
Panoramic View of Seoul
From the Sky Observatory, you can enjoy panoramic views of Seoul’s iconic landmarks like the Han River, Namsan Tower, and Bukhansan Mountain. Visit around sunset to catch the sky painted in vibrant hues.
A Symbol of Environmental Revival
Sky Park is a model of urban sustainability, transforming a former landfill into a lush eco-park. It's a meaningful spot for travelers interested in environmental restoration and green urban spaces.
