You have probably seen that the World Cup Park has become famous from the posts of the Philippine local celebrities. And some would say that “they are only grasses”, it just so happen that it was taken in Seoul. But more that those silver grass known as Eulalia grass, there are about five smaller parks that we can visit on this area - Pyeonghwa (Peace) Park, Haneul (Sky) Park, Noeul (Sunset) Park, Nanjicheon Park, and Nanji Hangang Park.
If you came by bus, you'll see this section first.
Metasequoia Road (behind Haneul (Sky) Park)
Not famous park among foreigners and also lesser known to locals. When I walk along this stretch I have only seen less than five locals doing their morning walk.
There are many tall metasequoia trees, but a visit during 2nd week of November is still too early for the yellow leaves.
Drama Filming Location: Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (March 2017, JTBC) Ep 8
An Min-Hyuk (chaebol heir and CEO of a gaming company; Park Hyung-Sik) together with Do Bong-Soon (Park Bo-Young) were walking in the park to visit someone dear to him.
Pyounghwa Park
A huge area to appreciate autumn and people watching. Locals do walk with their dog, chat and have snacks with their friends. Students especially kids roam around this place for their outdoor classes.
