Why go

Yongsan Children's Garden is a substantial public children-focused park in central Seoul's Yongsan district, opened in 2024 on the formerly off-limits land of the US Army Garrison after the base's relocation to Pyeongtaek. The 30-hectare garden combines large meadow lawns, a substantial wooded play area with climbing structures and balance courses, a streamside walking path, themed sensory gardens, and a small environmental-education pavilion. The park's symbolic significance — a former US military base returned to civilian use as a children's space — makes the visit layered with broader Korean post-Cold War narrative. Free entry. Best in spring or autumn. About 2 hours for a casual family visit. Pair with the National Museum of Korea also in Yongsan.
