Episode 14: Exploration Series - Boramae Park

안녕하세요!

Today's post is about 보라매공원(Boramae Park). It once used to be the Korean Air Force Academy and today it is a very large park consisted with many recreational activities. 

To get to the park you can take line 2 and get off at Shindaebang Station Exit 4, or Boramae Station Exit 2 via line 4. I actually walked from SNU all the way to Boramae park twice this week!... 

From the map it states the distance is about 4.86km and a 1 hour and 15 minute walking time. Before reaching the park, I found Podo Mall and had lunch at 고궁 (Gogung) which is the same restaurant chain as the one I visited in Insadong. 

Soybean Paste Stew with Snails (7,500KRW).

Here are photos of Boramae Park...

On the map you can see there are many recreational activity areas such as playgrounds, soccer field, an inline skating rink, and many fields and courts. 

At 5:00pm there is a fountain show at the main fountain!

 There are also various gardens around the park. It was my first time seeing an apple tree and a persimmon tree!

 

Finally, I saw a sign at one of the ends of the park. I thought it was so interesting, it shows what various exercises to do for a certain amount of time to burn off the calories of favourite Korean foods!

디엔드!

That's all for today's episode.

Thank you for reading!
