Haneul Park

A high, wind-exposed ecological park in Seoul's World Cup Park, built on the former Nanjido landfill. Its broad plateau is known for silver-grass fields, skyline views and one of Seoul's clearest examples of landfill restoration becoming public landscape.

Before deciding to visit

Dates / opening window: Checked against sources
Published 2026 sources disagree on the ordinary closing time: a Seoul Tourism page edited in July lists 05:00–22:00, while KTO Accessible Tourism modified in September lists 05:00–20:30. During the Oct. 17–23 Silver Grass Festival, festival operation is 10:00–21:00. Check the current Seoul Parks monthly gate time before visiting.

Getting there / returning: Checked against sources
Use Seoul Subway Line 6 to World Cup Stadium Station or Mapo-gu Office Station. Seoul's 2026 festival guidance estimates about 40 minutes on foot to Haneul Park; the climb is substantial. A paid Maengkkongi electric cart operates from the Nanjicheon Park parking area, subject to current operating conditions.

Booking / entry conditions: Not applicable
Ordinary park entry is not presented as an advance-reservation visit. The electric cart, festival workshops or other special activities can have separate queues, capacity limits or operating rules.
Price / extra fees: Checked against sources
The Maengkkongi electric cart is a paid service; Seoul Tourism publishes current fare information. Park-entry and festival-program charges can differ by activity, so check the specific program before relying on one total cost.

Overseas booking / payment: Checked against sources
Haneul Park is presented as an ordinary public-park visit with current English guidance and no account-based entry flow. International visitors can plan the park itself without a Korean identity account; foreign-card compatibility for the paid electric cart or any paid festival activity was not independently tested.

Accessibility: Checked against sources
KTO's accessibility page modified in September 2026 confirms accessible parking, a step-free main approach and entrance, accessible restroom and tactile guidance. Wheelchair movement is possible on key routes, but the park is on a high plateau reached by a long uphill approach, and some natural-surface, slope or stair sections still require caution.

Why it matters now

The 25th Seoul Silver Grass Festival runs here October 17–23, 2026. Seoul also changed its management of the silver grass in 2026 so much of it remains standing through winter as habitat and feeding ground for migratory birds.

Why go

Go for the silver-grass plateau, sunset and city views, but also for the landscape story: Haneul Park sits on the former Nanjido landfill and makes Seoul's environmental restoration visible rather than hiding it.
