Overview
Wondang Saem Park is located in Banghak-dong, Dobong-gu, Seoul, and it has the history of Wondang Village, where the Yoon family of Papyeong settled about 600 years ago. The main facility here, Wondang Spring, is named after Wondang Village and has been supplied as domestic water for hundreds of years. Currently, the pond has been restored as a traditional pond by connecting groundwater so that the Wondang Spring can flow without drying up. The traditional pond Wondang Spring and the nearby pavilion Samojeong blend together to create a tranquil walking course. Over 13,000 trees planted during restoration work provide a cool resting place. In autumn, the very large ginkgo tree over 800 years old, designated as a Seoul Metropolitan City monument in Wondang Saem Park, is coloring with autumn foliage, and there is a deck path around the tree, making it a great place to explore.
