Getting in

Approach
The approach has no steps and a gentle slope, and wheelchair users can move along it freely. Which entrance this covers is not known.
Ramps
A long zigzag ramp with railings appears to link an upper walkway and a dirt path below. A ramp with railings appears to rise from a dirt path to a higher walkway. Their steepness is not known, so bring someone who can push if you need help on slopes.
Hangang side
Four bollards appear to stand at the entrance from Hangang Park, and a paved path then goes down. Whether a wheelchair fits between them is not known.
Parking
Accessible spaces are at the Mureoksae Madang (물억새마당) car park, in front of the community center (주민센터), and at the Yeouido Saetgang car park, which may be one of these. Expect the accessible spaces at the Yeouido Saetgang car park to be a little inconvenient to use; the reason is not known.
Route
Saetgang Station (Line 9) Exit 1 is a 5-minute walk. Official directions start at Yeouido Station Exit 1. For elevators, see Getting there. Singil Station Exit 1 is a 10-minute walk, but the elevator is at a different exit.

Inside

Where to go
You can reach most sections by wheelchair. Some sections where the natural terrain has been preserved cannot be reached by wheelchair. Their locations are not given. Older information also describes small bridges of wood and earth.
Paths
The walking paths total 7.4 km, though sources differ on the length. They mix dirt, wooden deck and paving. One visitor wrote that the decks around the wetland make wheelchair travel fairly easy.
Toilets
The Yeouido Saetgang Information Center (여의도샛강안내센터) has an accessible toilet with room for a power wheelchair, grab bars and a child seat. A ramp leads to the toilet entrance, and the door may open with a push button.
Toilet locations
Accessible toilets are at the public toilets by the water taxi car park in front of 63 Building (with a ramp) and at the Mureoksae Madang car park. Sources differ on toilet locations. Call the number under Phone to ask which toilets are open. The public toilet at Beodeul Plaza (버들광장) is not a designated accessible toilet.
Rest and food
Older information describes log benches, but sources differ on whether the park has benches. Call the number under Phone to ask where you can rest. The park has no shop, so bring water and snacks.

Hours
The park is free and open 24 hours, every day, based on a Seoul Danurim entry updated on October 23, 2026. It has no street lights, so plan a daylight visit.
