History
It was once a royal hunting forest, and later became Seoul's first water purification plant in 1908. In the 1940s, its surrounding area was used as an amusement park. In 1954, a race course was built in the park. In 2004, construction began to convert the park into a forest; this completed in June 2005.[3]
Since August 2017, Seongdong District has implemented a policy to restrict entry to large companies and franchise companies in the area of Seoul Forest Road in Seongsu-dong. Seongdong District restricted the entry of large companies, franchise headquarters, or franchise-type rest restaurants (large coffee shops), general restaurants (large buffet restaurants), bakeries, and cosmetics stores in Seongsu 1-ga 2-dong. Such measures were based on the district unit plan around Ttukseom Island and the ordinance on the designation of local community cooperation and sustainable development zones, and Seongdong District is the first to restrict entry to district unit plans and ordinances outside of central Seoul.[7]
Transport
The park is served by Seoul Subway Line 2, Ttukseom station, exit 8 or Bundang Line, Seoul-forest station, exit 3. Buses are also widely available.[3][8]
