Nowon-gu, Seoul (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) announced that the '2025 Nowon Ssingssing Snow Sledding Park,' which operated for the past month, has successfully concluded.

The 'Snow Sledding Park,' a representative winter project of the district, was established to provide both health and fun in a nearby and safe facility despite the cold weather. Previously operated by the Jungnangcheon Stream, it was relocated last year to the comprehensive sports ground within Seoul National University of Science and Technology, greatly improving its scale and accessibility.

This year as well, 10 large lanes each 90 meters long and 6 separate 50-meter lanes for children were operated. Visitors used free dedicated tubes, and with the installation of an ‘automatic starting platform,’ the enjoyment and convenience for users were also enhanced.

Alongside the snow sledding slopes, there were various other attractions to enjoy. ▲A large snow play hill ▲An ice rink were provided where visitors could enjoy making snowmen, snowball fights, and skating together, and ▲The smelt fishing experience allowed visitors to catch smelt themselves and enjoy them fried at the snack bar, adding to the fun.

In particular, traditional games such as Yutnori were offered along with a newly introduced curling experience area, a popular winter Olympic sport. The amusement park also featured five types of rides including Disco Pang Pang for the first time, creating a theme park atmosphere.

The district also added meaning to winter as a season for everyone by holding a special event inviting families with disabilities on one of the closed days this year. This was in response to last year’s participants saying, “It was touching to be able to play without worrying about others’ gazes or safety.” On the 20th, about 500 people including local people with disabilities, their families, and support workers enjoyed the winter atmosphere at the snow sledding park.

Approximately 78,000 visitors came to the snow sledding park this year. This is an increase from last year’s total of about 53,000 visitors, and especially on weekends and holidays, an average of 4,700 people visited daily, proving its popularity once again.

Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, “Seeing the bright smiles of families who came despite the cold made me realize the residents’ demand for more entertainment,” adding, “We will continue to strive to make the city a place where culture and fun are always close throughout all four seasons.”
