The park was named after the famous Montmartre district in Paris to signify the cultural exchange between France and the Seocho district.
The Seocho district is home to a high concentration of French expatriates, leading to the park's thematic naming.
The park is officially linked to Seoripul Park via an elevated pedestrian bridge that traverses a major road, creating a continuous urban trail.
It is frequently referred to as 'Rabbit Park' by local residents due to a resident population of rabbits that formerly inhabited the hill.
The park features specific stone-paved zones and French-style signage markers to reinforce its European branding.
Montmartre Park is a hill-top public park located in the Seocho district of Seoul, characterized by its French-inspired aesthetic and proximity to the Seoul Arts Center. The park features a distinct landmark structure, the 'Montmartre' sign, and a large sculpture of a rabbit, which serves as a playful emblem of the site. It is connected to the adjacent Seoripul Park by the Montmartre Footbridge, allowing for extended walking routes through forested terrain. The park functions as a neighborhood green space with paved paths and wooden decking suitable for light exercise. It remains a popular local destination for cherry blossom viewing during the spring months. The elevated location provides views of the surrounding Banpo-dong residential areas.
