The Nanji swimming pool is engineered with a unique filtration system and specifically zoned areas for different age groups.
It remains one of the few designated camping areas within Seoul city limits that allows for overnight riverside stays.

Nanji Hangang Park is a dedicated riverside recreational area located on the northern bank of the Han River, distinguished by its focus on active sports and water-based leisure. The site features a large outdoor swimming pool complex that operates seasonally, often serving as a primary destination for summer relief from urban heat. It includes an extensive inline skating track and paved cycling paths that connect to the wider Han River network. The park is integrated with the Nanji Riverside Camping Area, which provides designated spaces for tents and barbecue activities. It serves as a major venue for large-scale outdoor music festivals due to its expansive open-field capacity. The landscape is designed to integrate with the natural riverine ecosystem while providing infrastructure for public sports. It serves as a connector between the World Cup Park complex and the Han River waterfront.

Bring a portable picnic mat or folding chair, as seating can become scarce during peak weekend hours.
Check local weather alerts for the Han River area, as the park is low-lying and can be subject to temporary closures during monsoon season or heavy rain.
Rent a bicycle from one of the designated kiosks at the entrance to explore the extensive trail system that stretches toward other Hangang parks.
Do not attempt to swim in the Han River itself, as it is strictly prohibited and dangerous; only use the designated swimming pool.
The swimming pool is open only during the summer season; the entire park may be inaccessible during extreme flood warnings or heavy seasonal rain.
Clean up all trash in designated areas and maintain low noise levels after sunset at the campsite.
