Yeouido Saetgang Ecological Park

Yeouido Saetgang Ecological Park is located from the Saetgang behind the National Assembly in Yeouido to the center of Gayang Bridge, and is a place that makes the most of the natural environment with a colony of willows, reeds, and silver grass. A stream waterfall and pond were created using groundwater from a nearby subway, and wetland plants such as cattail, water parsley, and water hyacinth were planted around the area to improve water quality and suit the natural environment. This place includes a bicycle road, a walking path, two parking lots, five bridges, two plazas, an information center, a lawn, a park golf course, an ecological waterway, an irises garden, a willow forest, a water purification garden, a colony of silver grass, and a closed wetland. We also operate ecological programs such as ecological interpretation, nature observation, and nature play. The information center has a learning space, an ecological program operation room, and a firefly nursery. Although it is a park located between a forest of buildings in the middle of Seoul, it has fields with all kinds of wild flowers blooming and a small river where willow fish, minnows, and carp live. Reeds and pampas grass grow in abundance, a 6km walking path has been created, and information boards about native plants are installed at intervals of 20 to 30 meters. Rare animals and plants live here, including the natural monument kestrel, black-cheeked duck, heron, violet, horsetail, and pussy willow. In order not to harm nature, the ecological park did not install benches and kiosks, nor did it install streetlights to allow animals and plants to rest and sleep. It can be used all year round, but access to some sections may be restricted during the animal breeding season. It is located 700m from exit 1 of Yeouido Station on metropolitan subway line 5.
