Choose a walk, lighting or an activity
- Walk and photo spots: start with the grassland scenery.
- Evening lighting: the official schedule lists planned starts at 19:00, 19:30 and 20:00 on 17–23 October, with an extra planned 20:30 weekend session. Check same-day changes.
- Crafts and market: on-site craft activities and a reuse market are listed; registration and hours vary.
A suggested order
Allow time to walk up from the station. Choose a daylight walk or an activity, then decide whether to stay for lighting. Keep the journey home flexible for weather and crowds. Dates follow the organiser’s detailed programme and the city/KTO listings: 17–23 October.
One more park, rather than a long checklist
- Peace Park (평화의공원): another part of World Cup Park, worth considering if you want a different park setting before or after Haneul Park.
- Suggested order: Peace Park → the Haneul Park grassland → home. Allow for the hill; there is no need to add Noeul Park as well.
