On June 18, 2005, Seoul Soop 서울숲 (a forest in Korean) emerged as a remarkable green haven, having undergone a rich history of transformations on Ttukseom Island.

 

In the distant past, this lush expanse served as a royal hunting ground and even played a role as a military inspection facility.

 

As the years passed, the area witnessed diverse incarnations, starting from being a water treatment facility before morphing into a golf course, horse racing track, and finally evolving into the splendid park it is today.
