Sledding slopes will be opened in the Han River Parks in Ttukseom, Jamwon, and Yeouido on December 22.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on December 17 that it will run sledding slopes at the three Han River parks from the end of this month until February 12 next year. They are available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both weekdays and weekends.
The snow sledding slopes will be equipped with a 80m-long large slope, two 30m-long small slopes, and a snow playground with a low-slope.
The admission fee is 6,000 won for children, teenagers, and adults, which includes access to all the facilities, including snow playgrounds and rest areas.
Seoul will organize an event exclusively for people with disabilities at the Han River Park in Ttukseom on December 21, a day before the official opening of the sledding slopes. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., 200 people with physical and mental disabilities will be able to use the sledding slopes exclusively.
For those people who have difficulty moving up a sledding slope, the city made and installed the first lift for the disabled in a sledding slope in the country. To help them move easily with their wheelchairs, new footholds were installed on the boundary of sidewalks so that they can use sledding slopes without any difficulties.
