Sometimes, all you need is a peaceful place to unwind without traveling far. 

Just one subway transfer from Seoul (get off at Dasan Station on Line 8) takes you to a hidden gem of tranquility: Dasan Central Park in Namyangju City, Gyeonggi Province.

Though close to the city, this park offers a refreshing dose of nature and calm, ideal for a quick weekend getaway or even a weekday break.

From the moment you enter, you’re welcomed by a beautifully landscaped linear garden. As you stroll along, vibrant flowers and a variety of plants line the path, creating a visually stunning and peaceful atmosphere.

One of the park’s standout features is its expansive green lawn. Great for a picnic, a leisurely walk, or a quiet date in nature. There's plenty of open space to stretch out and enjoy the sunshine.

The true highlight of Dasan Central Park? 

It’s the waterfall.

Just a 10-minute walk from the subway station through a gentle uphill forest trail, you'll suddenly find yourself in front of a cool, cascading waterfall. The sound of flowing water instantly soothes the senses, and the surrounding greenery makes you feel far from the bustle of city life.

Take a seat on a bench nearby and let the relaxing sound of the water melt your stress away. It’s the kind of peaceful moment that stays with you long after your visit.

Throughout the park, flowers and plants change with the seasons. The blend of fresh green leaves and colorful blooms provides the perfect backdrop for photos or a reflective stroll.

The surrounding Dasan New Town is also developing rapidly, with new restaurants, cafés, and leisure spots popping up. Visiting now, while the area is still relatively quiet, gives you a chance to enjoy its charm before it becomes more crowded.

Whether you need a peaceful solo retreat, a romantic afternoon date, or a relaxing walk with friends, Dasan Central Park delivers calm, beauty, and fresh air. 

So how about taking a moment to sit by the waterfall, breathe in the greenery, and reset your mind?
