This is the only riverside park in Seoul that features an official camping site with designated fire pits and pitch areas.
The park provides direct pedestrian access to Seonyudo Island, a former water purification plant converted into an ecological park.
The area is a primary junction for the Hangang cycling path network, serving as a hub for both western and central Seoul transit routes.
The Rainbow Bridge serves as an iconic architectural pedestrian connection specifically linking the mainland park to the island park.
The riverside banks in this section are part of the 'Hangang Renaissance' project, aimed at improving riverfront accessibility and ecological health.
Yanghwa Hangang Riverside Park is located along the Han River between the Yanghwa Bridge and Seogang Bridge. It is anchored by the Yanghwa Hangang Park Campground, the only specialized camping area within the city's Han River park network. The park features a dedicated ecological area, the Seonyudo Sun-Yu Culture Center connection, which allows pedestrian access to the adjacent Seonyudo Island via the Rainbow Bridge. A wide network of bike paths runs through the park, connecting to the broader Seoul Han River cycling loop. The park includes sports facilities such as basketball, tennis, and gateball courts for public use. It serves as a major node for water-based recreational activities on the river. The layout is optimized for leisure, with flat terrain and open lawns bordering the riverbank. It is distinguished by its proximity to the bridge infrastructure, offering unique structural sightlines of Seoul's river crossings.

Bring a portable picnic mat, as the grass areas are the primary seating solution.
Use the bicycle rental stations located at the park entrances rather than bringing your own equipment.
Visit the convenience stores (often called 'convenience store ramen spots') to cook instant noodles in dedicated boiling machines.
Do not attempt to swim in the Han River, as it is strictly prohibited and dangerous; avoid visiting during peak weekend hours if seeking a quiet experience.
Clean up all trash using provided sorting bins; refrain from smoking outside of designated zones; avoid playing loud music in public areas.
