Ichon Hangang Park [이촌 한강공원] is a park located on a 10.2km stretch along the Han River between Hangang Railway Bridge [한강철교] and Dongjak Bridge [동작대교] across Seoul’s neighborhoods Ichon [Ichon-dong/이촌동] and Seobinggo [Seobinggo-dong/서빙고동], in the Yongsan District [Yongsan-gu/용산구]. Apart from other amenities such as a soccer field, basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, the park also “has an inline skating center built in 1998 for international competitions.”

Habaek’s castle in Bride of the Water God is situated at the very far east end of this park at the North end section of Banpo Bridge [반포대교]. It seems that officially this part is not even counted as part of the park; neither does it carry another name. Banpo Hangang Park [반포한강공원] is located just vis-à-vis on the other side of the Hangang River.

The park itself is part of the larger Hangang Park [한강공원] system, which is made up of 12 parks in total, built between 1982 and 1986. It also consists of Gwangnaru Park, Jamsil Park, Ttukseom Park, Jamwon Park, Yanghwa Park, Banpo Park, Mangwon Park, Yeouido Park, Nanji Park, Gangseo Park, and Seonyudo Park. Since 2007, Hangang Park has been gradually redeveloped under the ‘Hangang Renaissance Project‘ (한강르네상스 사업), with an intended completion in 2030.
