Located in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Maeheon Citizen's Forest is the first park in South Korea to introduce the concept of a forest, featuring a dense woodland rarely seen in urban areas. Established in 1986 to improve the environment around the Yangjae Tollgate, then a gateway to Seoul, in preparation for the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Olympics, this park offers various facilities such as a lawn plaza, floor fountain, pergolas, volleyball court, basketball court, and tennis courts, ensuring residents' health and relaxation through free activities in nature.
