Hangang River Citizen’s Park (한강시민공원), built in the 1980s, runs along the banks of the Han River through 12 districts in Seoul -- Gwangnaru, Jamsil, Ttukseom, Jamwon, Banpo, Ichon, Yeouido, Yanghwa, Mangwon, Seonyudo, Nanji, and Gangseojigu. Mostly it's just got walking and bike paths, but at some places it has much more. It's a popular spot for taking a stroll, having a picnic, biking, rollerblading, or even going out on the river for windsurfing or jetskiing. There are also facilities in some parts for soccer, tennis, and volleyball.

The mega-hit 2006 movie The Host was partly filmed at different spots of the park.
