At the Uicheon Multipurpose Plaza, the top winter play facility, a snow sledding area, will be operated. It features a large slope with 6 lanes and a length of 70 meters (available for users over 120cm tall) and a small slope with 4 lanes and a length of 40 meters (available for children aged 3 and above), where visitors can enjoy tube sledding.

The large slope is equipped with an automatic sled conveyor for convenience. Additionally, there will be an ice skating rink (ice sledding area) and a snow play area suitable for all ages. At Gil-eum 1-dong Complex 7, a 35-meter-long ice bobsleigh track and an ice skating rink will be installed.

Both locations, the Uicheon Multipurpose Plaza in Seokgwan-dong and in front of Gil-eum 1-dong Complex 7, will offer various activities such as curling, traditional games, and children’s playground equipment, providing fun and entertainment for children on winter break and their families to enjoy together.

The Seongbuk-gu Winter Sledding Park operates daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is closed every Monday, except it remains open on Christmas and Lunar New Year.

Seongbuk-gu residents can enter free of charge, while non-residents must pay an admission fee of 5,000 KRW for the Uicheon Multipurpose Plaza and 3,000 KRW for the Gil-eum 1-dong Complex 7 location. After admission, snow sledding, snow play areas, and traditional sledding are free to use. However, skating and children’s playground equipment require separate fees.

Opening ceremonies will be held at 11 a.m. on the 21st at the Uicheon Multipurpose Plaza and on the 29th at Gil-eum 1-dong Complex 7.

Mayor Lee Seung-ro said, “We have prepared with utmost effort to make this the safest and most enjoyable winter playground,” and added, “We hope families experience various winter activities at the Seongbuk-gu Winter Sledding Park and create happy and wonderful memories.”
