Information

The facts

Olympic Park, shortened to Olpark, is an Olympic Park built to host the 1988 Summer Olympics. It is located in Songpa-gu, Bangi-dong.

In 2011, the Olympic Hall was renovated as a concert hall by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation. The one-year remodeling project included an expanded stage for the 2,452 seat main hall, an exhibition room to showcase the history of Korean pop from the 1920s to the present; and a 240-seat small theater for indie musicians and new artists.

It was reopened on 22 June 2011 with a celebration performance by veteran singers and K-pop groups including Super Junior, 2PM, 4Minute, and After School.

There is also an Olympic Museum located within the Olympic Park. While photos are not allowed in the exhibition halls, the museum is a great place to learn about Korea's sporting history and talent through the years. A souvenir store is also located therein where you can purchase Olympic souvenirs!

Simply amazing! In fall, the leafs turn colorful and it is just a beautiful sight. Play soccer, study in the nature, go out with friends/a date/your dog, you can do anything here!!!

This place is abuzz with activities when I went there in May. Many school children enjoy a relaxing afternoon at this place. A great way to soak in the nature and just enjoy the vast scenery. A good place to be even when alone!

It's a great place to hang out with friends or family. The park is pretty huge with all the stadiums and gardens. There's also a rose garden that usually opens in late May every year.
