The city government said on Monday that more than 140,000 people visited three outdoor sledding rinks —Ttukseom, Jamwon, and Yeouido — between late December and last Sunday. They drew about 1,300 visitors a day and 4,400 visitors on weekends and holidays, a slight increase compared to the previous year.
The rinks, featuring an 80-meter slope, offered more than just sledding, with other fun activities such as ice fishing, bumper cars, and bungee rides.
"They were especially popular with families with kids on outings," said a city official, attributing the increase in visitor numbers to affordable prices for using the facilities.
The parks will be converted into water parks and swimming pools during the summer season. "We plan to make Han River parks a vibrant year-round leisure spot for Seoulites," the official said.
