The park's crowning glory is its panoramic views of Seoul. Multiple observation decks offer breathtaking vistas, particularly stunning as day transitions to night and the city lights begin to twinkle. Photography enthusiasts will find endless inspiration here, with the urban landscape stretching out in all directions. For those seeking a more active visit, Naksan Park boasts exercise paths that wind through its verdant grounds. Basketball and badminton courts provide opportunities for friendly competition, while a senior center caters to the local community. Art and culture enthusiasts will appreciate the park's exhibition hall and the traditional Korean pavilion, adorned with intricate, colorful paintings.
