Haneul Park
하늘공원
A hilltop grassland park converted from a landfill site. In autumn, the hill is covered in silver pampas grass, with views over the Han River and Sangam-dong. It's Seoul's top spot for pampas grass.
Haneul Park is part of the World Cup Park. The hill it sits on was once the Nanjido landfill. After ecological restoration, it was converted into a park, and the summit is now a broad grassland of pampas grass and foxtail grass. The Seoul Pampas Grass Festival is held every year in mid-to-late October. The grass looks best at sunset and under night lights. Climbing from the foot of the hill via the 291-step zigzag wooden boardwalk takes about 20 minutes. You can also take a paid electric shuttle. Entry is free. Exit 1 of World Cup Stadium Station (Subway Line 6) is about a 20-minute walk to the foot of the hill.
