Boramae Park
Boramae Park (Korean: 보라매공원; Hanja: 보라매公園; lit. baby hawk park[1]) is a large public park in Sindaebang-dong, Dongjak District, Seoul, South Korea.[2][3]
Description
From 1958 to December 10, 1985, the area hosted the Korea Air Force Academy (KAFA).[2][3] When the KAFA moved to Cheongju, the Seoul Metropolitan Government acquired the former site on December 1985, and turned the area into a public park. The park opened to the public on May 5, 1986.[3] The park is named "Boramae", meaning baby hawk,[1] after the name of a symbol used by the KAFA.[3][1]
The park has an area of 413,352 m2 (4,449,280 sq ft). It has a variety of facilities, including a playground, tennis courts, an artificial turf soccer field, badminton courts, a jogging track, a gateball court, and a rock climbing wall.[1][2][3] There are spaces for picnics, a floor fountain, community centers, and a small zoo.[2][3] A dog park opened in the park on April 23, 2016.[3][4] A children's park opened on June 6, 2024.[5]The park also has a pond.[2]
The park has an Air Park that displays eight airplanes in homage to its time as the KAFA, as well as a monument called Seongmudae (성무대; 星武臺).[2][3] The monument was built in 1962, using donations from former cadets.[2]
