There are 3 ways to get there from the Park entrance: firstly climb 291 steps up from the Park entrance or secondly take the golf-cart shuttle service departing from the park entrance (operating hours 10am to 6pm (December to February) and 10am to 7pm (rest of the year)) or thirdly, walk the 1.4 km hilly road that the shuttle service plies. During the annual Seoul Silver Grass Festival (which we missed as we visited Haneul Park after the festival date of 15-21 October 2022), the Park was opened till 10pm for visitors to enjoy the fabulous light shows and the night scenery. Haneul Park opens from 9am till 6pm to 8pm (depending on the sunset time, earlier closure timing for winter). Alternatively, after crossing the traffic light intersection, turn right and walk along World Cup Road, cross Jeongsan-ro at the traffic light, turn left and walk past the car park and you would reach the Haneul Park entrance. At the first main traffic light intersection along World Cup-ro (road), cross the road to Pyeonghwa (“Peace”) Park, continue in a diagonally-right direction through the car park and finally cross the blue arch bridge that links Pyeonghwa Park and Haneul Park and you would reach the Haneul Park entrance. Upon coming out of Exit 1, turn right and walk along the World Cup Stadium. Take Subway Line 6 to World Cup Stadium Station (619). My family and I spent about 2 hours on a sunny autumn Sunday from mid-afternoon till just before sunset at Haneul Park, so named because this is a park in Seoul that is the closest to the sky (Haneul means "Sky" in Korean).
