Pocheon_Seowoon Park

Emotions of clouds

Seowoon Park’s vibe changes by the shadows of clouds. Under the bright sunshine that makes it difficult for your eyes to open, the park seems as green as ever. A large pond situated at the center of the park holds a reflection of the vast sky within it.



Seowoon Park is the first-ever tourist farm opened in Korea.




Located on the boundary of the National Arboretum and boasting a remarkable natural environment, Seowoon Park comprises gardens and woods over a 50,000-pyeong area. In addition to a beautiful surroundings, it also features accommodations, stroll paths, a natural grass foot volleyball court a grass field, a variety of auxiliary and convenience facilities, all of which are sufficient to hold group events.



Seowoon Park has two parking lots. However, on the way from Parking Lot 1 to Seowoon Park, you must cross a stream whose currents are somewhat strong at times so, if you accompany children, it is recommended that you use Parking Lot 2.



While on my stroll along the trail following the signs, I was attracted by an adorable doorplate to a farm called Baby Farm. Its indoor space looks to be a remodeled stable where various animals, from cute rabbits to flamboyant peacocks, currently reside.



Once I entered an area known as “Safari,” sheep, goats, and ponies were freely roaming around while some of the lucky ones were being fed by the tourists. Food for the animals are sold at snack bars and pictures may be taken with them at specific times.



As I get ready to leave after a joyful time with the animals, clouds begin to hang over the park. The vivid, lively park is slowly painted with achromatic colors as if it is sad to see people leave.
