Yeollin Songhyeon Green Square

There is not yet enough information to say how far a wheelchair can go here, and the large site takes a medium amount of walking. This open green square near Gwanghwamun, also called Songhyeon Green Plaza, has a big central lawn. Its temporary opening ends in December 2026, and the whole site closes in early 2027 for construction. We only know a little about it so far.
