🚇 Getting There & Parking
Eoullim Garden is inside Sejong Jungang Park. Since the Hangul Festival is held on the same day, follow the Hangul Festival’s transportation and parking guidance.
Bus: From Sejong Express Intercity Bus Terminal, take bus 203 or 205 and get off at Sejong Arts High School. It’s about a 2-minute walk.
During the festival, the park is pedestrian-only, so bicycles and kickboards are not allowed.
| Parking & Transport | Information |
|---|---|
| Parking Lots | 11 lots listed in the Hangul Festival guide · Search by parking lot name in navigation apps |
| Morning of the 9th | Entry/exit restricted at Sejong Arts Center, Jungang Park LH Temporary, and North Ieung Bridge parking lots (for Hangul Run, until 11:40) |
| Hangul Train (Paid) | Board near the Urban Festival Plaza main stage · Adults 4,000 won, Children 3,000 won |
The Hangul Festival organizers note that parking lots will be very crowded and ask visitors to use public transport or walk if possible.

On the 9th and 10th, the Rose Garden hosts the Day Goblin Playground (traditional games).
Strollers can be borrowed at the Lakeside Park Management Center. For lost children or lost items, go to the General Information Center at Jangnamdeul Square in Jungang Park.
The National Children’s Museum is a 3-minute walk from Jungang Park. It is open from 09:30 to 17:30.
