This is a park with many gardens in the island of Seonyudo. The island was a site of water purification plant until 2000, and was converted to a park in 2002. Many of the sculptures and architectures are remnants of the previous plant, and won many awards such as Korean Architecture Institute Award and American Society of Landscape Architects Award. It is now a nice photo spot used by Seoul citizens. English pamphlets can be downloaded from here.
