Closure of Snow Sledding Parks at Ttukseom and Jamwon Hangang Parks

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The Seoul Metropolitan Government's Hangang Project Headquarters announced on the 14th that the operation of the Ttukseom and Jamwon Hangang Park sledding hills, which opened on December 23 last year, ended on the 12th.

The total number of visitors to the Hangang Park sledding hills this winter was 87,243. After three years due to COVID-19, 54,576 people visited the Ttukseom sledding hill, and 32,667 people visited the Jamwon sledding hill, which opened for the first time this year.

The city explained that with the return to normal life, the Hangang sledding hills became known as a "must-visit winter attraction in Seoul" through social networking services (SNS), and despite the cold weather, the steady flow of visitors allowed for a successful operation.

In addition to sledding, various experience facilities such as a snow playground, small rides, ice fishing, and baseball throwing were provided, bringing joy not only to children on vacation but also to people of all ages including friends and couples.

The sledding hills, which have ended operation, will begin preparations to be transformed into swimming pools that offer cool relaxation this summer.

Juyongtae, head of the Seoul Metropolitan Government Hangang Project Headquarters, said, “This winter, the Hangang Park sledding hills became a unique outing spot and a place of memories for many citizens.” He added, “Although the sledding hill operation has ended, Hangang Park will offer diverse sights and activities throughout the four seasons, so we ask for your continued interest and participation.”
