Spanning over 991,800 square metres, Ilsan Lake Park is certainly one of the largest manmade parks in Asia. In addition to that accolade, it is home to the largest artificial lake in the whole of Asia. The lake is divided into two parts by Dalmaji Island, which separates the northern part built around nature with the southern part with many fountains.  

While admiring the autumn foliage, you can enjoy several recreational facilities from roller blading to cycling. What’s more, there is also an arboretum and botanical gardens.

Seokcheon Lake isn’t typically included in itineraries, but it surely is an underrated gem. Its location in a busy Seoul intersection allows busy office workers and residents to seek respite conveniently. In its vicinity is Lotte World theme park, a Cafe street and food alley. 

What’s more, admission is free as it is a public park. During the day, look out for harabeojis (elderly men) playing Baduk, or feed the ducks and geese. 

3. Incheon Grand Park
