On Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, large events can bring crowds and heavy traffic. Take public transit if you can. If you drive, park only in marked areas; parking elsewhere costs a 50,000 won fine, as of October 2026.

Getting in

Entrance
The way in is wide and always open. Wheelchairs and mobility scooters can enter easily.
Gateways
Two walkway gateways (nadeulmok) are near the center of the Mangwon area: Mangwon Nadeulmok 2 (망원나들목2) by Parking Lot 3, and Mangwon Seoul Battleship (Seongsan) Nadeulmok (망원서울함(성산) 나들목) near Parking Lot 2. Their slopes and steps are not known. Mangwon Nadeulmok 1 is a road, not a walkway.
Elevators
The park has six elevators: at Mapo Jongjeom Nadeulmok (마포종점나들목), the north end of Yanghwa Bridge, Mapo Saebit Culture Forest (마포새빛문화숲, the former Danginri Power Plant), the north end of Seogang Bridge, and two at the pedestrian overpass in front of the Hyundai car service center at the north end of Wonhyo Bridge. You can see all six on the Seoul Hangang Parks facility map, which has no wheelchair routes.
Parking
Mangwon Parking Lots 2 and 3 have six accessible spaces in total, with extra room around them for wheelchair users. The park is right in front of the spaces.
Route
From Exit 1 of Mangwon or Hapjeong Station, take bus Mapo 09 or Mapo 16 to the Mangwon Hangang Park stop; check first that your exit has an elevator. A nearby stop, Mangwon Yusuji–Mapo-gu Sports Center, has no low-floor buses, and it may or may not be the same stop.
