Stories from the record

Story 01

Changing ways to enjoy the river

Ttukseom developed as a place for watersports and summer recreation. In 1989, the first outdoor pool among Hangang parks opened here. The river became a place for active leisure as well as transport and water supply.

Story 02

The long shape called Jabeolle

The viewing and cultural facility is known for its curved, caterpillar-like form. It connects river views with cultural use. Compare the distant silhouette with the actual entrances and routes to understand form and function.

Story 03

Read the river at different heights

At the water's edge you notice currents and plants; from higher up, bridges and the skyline dominate. Move between viewpoints. The park's spaces provide different ways of experiencing the same river.
