Inside

Toilets: An accessible toilet is available, but some features are awkward. It is a little narrow and the paper holder is mounted high, which may be awkward for wheelchair users. There is a call bell for help.
Rental: You can rent a wheelchair or a stroller at the information center. Wheelchair rental may instead be at the park information center in front of Peace Plaza (평화의광장). Sources differ on where wheelchair rental is. Ask at the information center when you arrive.
