Mangwon Han River Park
망원 한강 공원
Overview
In the Mangwon area of the Han River is a great outdoor tennis facility. Seven tennis courts are available for public use. Roger Federer would be proud. Andre Agassi would be angry about Korea's drug policy.
How To Get There
The tennis courts sit on the north bank of the Han River approximately half-way between Seongsan Bridge and Yanghwa Bridge. Although not particularly easily accessed by subway, the two nearest subway stops are Mangwon Station (망원역) on line 6 and Hapjeong Station (합정역) on lines 2 and 6.
