Introduction
Banpo Hangang Park is located on the southern side of the river centering on Banpo Bridge (Jamsu Bridge) between Hamnam Bridge (upstream) and Dongjak Bridge (downstream). The Rainbow Fountain built on both sides of Banpo Bridge was registered in The Guinness Book of Records in 2008 as the longest bridge fountain in the world with a total length of 1,140m. The bridge starts from Banpo Hangang River Park created under the Hangang Renaissance Project. At night, over 200 lights create a fantastic view of a beautiful rainbow.
In addition, there are sports facilities including bubble playground, in-line skating track, soccer field, and basketball court. You may also enjoy the gorgeous view of Hangang river and skyscrapers on the riverside from Gureum and Noeul café, lookout places located on the southernmost part of Dongjak Bridge.
Seoraeseom Island which connects from Banpo Hangang River Park is an artificially created island to provide a leisure space for Seoul urbanites. Every spring, the place is flooded with waves of canola flowers and people to enjoy picnic and spring events like ‘Searaeseom Butterfly, Canola Flower Festival’.
Your joyful experience in the park doesn’t end here – there are more things to see and enjoy including a nature experience field, boat quay, bike lane, and picnic spots.
