Hangang Pools: Hours, Fees, Parking for Ttukseom, Yeouido, Jamsil, Nanji

According to official announcements from the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Future Hangang Headquarters, the Hangang Park water facilities will operate from June 19 to August 30, 2026. Ttukseom and Yeouido are classified as swimming pools, while Jamsil and Nanji are water play areas, with different admission fees reflecting this distinction. All four locations generally close at 10 PM, but there are entry restrictions during lunch and dinner hours.

For swimming pools, admission is 5,000 won for adults, 4,000 won for teenagers, and 3,000 won for children. For water play areas, it's 3,000 won for adults, 2,000 won for teenagers, and 1,000 won for children. Children aged 5 and under are free with proof of age. Seoul City states there are no regular holidays during the operating period, but operations may be temporarily suspended in case of heavy rain or flooding.

Even with Same Operating Hours, Entry Times are Separate

The operating hours announced by the Future Hangang Headquarters are from 09:00 to 22:00. However, entry into the water is not permitted during lunch (12:00-13:00) and dinner (17:30-19:00). During facility-specific break times, visitors must also exit the pools as guided by safety personnel, meaning the total operating hours listed do not represent continuous use time.

Ttukseom swimming pool and Jamsil water play area can be used after purchasing tickets during opening hours. Online reservations are guided to be made through linked reservation pages found by searching for the location on Naver Map. On-site operating procedures may vary depending on crowd levels or weather conditions, so official announcements from the operating entity take precedence.

Ttukseom & Yeouido Apply Age-Based Swimming Pool Fees

Ttukseom is a swimming pool equipped with a lazy river, adult pool, children's pool, and toddler pool. It's about a 5-minute walk from Jayang Station Exit 2 or 3. For vehicles, it's advised to park at Ttukseom Hangang Park Parking Lot No. 3 and walk for about 7 minutes. Swimming pool fees are 5,000 won for ages 19+, 4,000 won for ages 13-18, and 3,000 won for ages 6-12.

Yeouido consists of a youth/adult pool, children's pool, and toddler pool. It's about a 15-minute walk from National Assembly Station Exit 1, or a 7-minute walk from Yeouido Hangang Park Parking Lot No. 3 for vehicles. Both facilities apply swimming pool fees, but the 50% parking fee discount was abolished in 2021, so regular Hangang Park parking fees apply.

Jamsil & Nanji Operate with Lower Water Play Area Fees

Jamsil Natural Water Play Area is composed of three sections: Toddler Pool, Joy Pool, and Wonder Pool, with maximum depths ranging from 0.3 to 1.0m depending on the section. It applies water play area fees: 3,000 won for adults, 2,000 won for teenagers, and 1,000 won for children. It's about a 15-minute walk from Jamsilsaenae Station Exit 7.

Jamsil's former Parking Lot No. 4 is closed, so entry from that direction is not possible. According to official announcements from the Future Hangang Headquarters, visitors to the water play area should enter via Parking Lot No. 1 and then use Parking Lot No. 5. Some facility guides still show Parking Lots No. 2 and 3, so for visits in 2026, it's correct to follow the latest announcement for Parking Lot No. 5 mentioned above.

Nanji Water Play Area features a 3,500㎡ pool with a maximum depth of 1.0m. It applies the same water play area fees and is about a 10-minute walk from Nanji Hangang Park Parking Lot No. 2. For public transportation, it's about a 10-minute walk from the Nanji Hangang Park bus stop (Bus No. 9707), but takes 30-40 minutes from World Cup Stadium Station, making the distance between the subway station and the facility relatively long among the four locations.

What to Check Before Parking: Proof & Weather Notices

For free admission for children aged 5 and under, and discounts for people with disabilities, national merit recipients, seniors aged 65+, or those with a multi-child happiness card, supporting documents must be submitted on-site; screenshots are not accepted. Infants and children cannot enter without a guardian, and children's groups must be accompanied by one guardian per four children.

Seoul City recommends using public transportation due to potential road and parking lot congestion. On days with heavy rain forecasts, check the Future Hangang Headquarters announcements or each facility's management office before departing. While there are no regular holidays until the operating end date of August 30, operations may be immediately suspended for safety if the Hangang River water level rises due to heavy rainfall.
