Looking to get away from the maddening crowds to a place that feels like luxury? You need to grab your family and head to Seojeong Lake for the day. When we first went to Sinjeong Lake, the park was swathed rain and clouds. Not exactly the best day to be walking around a lake. We decided to do it anyway and had no regrets. In our lives, the world is beautiful in all kinds of weather. We don’t wait for the sun to give us permission to enjoy the world. Sinjeong Lake Park turned out to be a little bit epic. The park has lots of little hidden delights. You wander from one cool little installation to another. They even have a kid’s water park that opens during the swimming season (assuming there is no pandemic). We hope you pack up the kids and go explore the area in the rain and the sun. It’s a lovely place to enjoy nature and the luxury of fancy restaurants and cafes. Sinjeong Lake Restaurant Options Sinjeong lake has a wide variety of restaurant options. Here are three restaurants recommended by South of Seoul volunteer families visiting the area. Fit A Pan even has a kid’s menu. What to do with the family The walking park surrounding Sinjeong Lake is stunning with many different features to enjoy.
