Songpa Naru Park (Seokchonhosu Lake) (송파나루공원 (석촌호수))

Songpa Naru Park, also commonly referred to as Seokchonhosu Lake, is a citizen park in Seoul with a jogging course and walking trails. It has two lakes with Songpa-daero Boulevard running in between. Originally, a branch of the Hangang River ran through the site, forming one large lake, but the lake was divided into two with the construction of Songpa-daero Boulevard. The total size of the two lakes is 217,850 ㎡, and they hold about 737 tons of water. The depth of the lakes is 4-5 meters.

Why go

Songpa Naru Park surrounds Seokchon Lake, a pair of connected artificial lakes in the heart of Songpa-gu, southeastern Seoul. The park is a popular year-round green space for locals and visitors alike, offering flat walking and cycling paths that circle the water. Cherry blossoms along the lakeside draw large crowds each spring, making it one of the city's most photographed seasonal spots. The adjacent Lotte World Tower and Lotte World amusement complex are visible from the shoreline, creating a striking urban backdrop. Food stalls, cafés, and rental boats add to the recreational atmosphere throughout the warmer months.
