I took a stroll through Incheon Cheongna Lake Park because I had a reason to find it. There is also the filming location for “The Glory” in the middle, and the playground and facilities were well-equipped.

Near the first parking lot of Cheongna Lake Park is a cafe. The filming location for ‘The Glory’Baduk is also nearby.
Check the location of Cheongna Lake Park parking lots: Besides the central area around the lake, there are a total of 4 parking lots positioned to the north and south. Each parking lot is labeled from 1 to 4.
Note: The central area is under construction for Cheongna City Tower, making parking and movement slightly inconvenient.
The fourth parking lot features a large playground, including a zip line. Be sure to check it out.
Although I haven’t watched the drama from the beginning, there is a large baduk board with stones laid out.
It’s also nice to view it from the pavilion right next to it.
While an artificial lake, the park has become a great resting place for nearby apartment residents.
The well-designed park landscape, with consideration for children from playgrounds to resting places, can be a great place for local residents if water management is well-maintained.
The park offers various playground facilities, providing good memories for children visiting the lake.
The playgrounds at Cheongna Lake Park are concentrated between the first and fourth parking lots.
Considering the walk around the lake takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and the distance between each parking lot takes about 30 minutes on foot, plan accordingly.
There is also a place where you can board a duck boat near the first parking lot of Cheongna Lake Park.
I thought Cheongna Pavilion was an original local cultural heritage.
From Cheongna Pavilion, you can climb up to a gazebo.
The park has various attractions, not just a simple perimeter trail but well-designed playgrounds for children and diverse themes from the beginning to the resting place.
Restrooms and parking lots are installed approximately every 1 km. However, on sunny weekends, parking lots can fill up quickly, and there is no separate parking fee.
The park features various aquatic plants, but continuous lake management is needed for ecosystem preservation.
There are separate observation decks hidden to protect birds.
Clean restrooms are installed at each parking lot.

Well-designed playgrounds for children are found throughout Cheongna Lake Park. Personally, the playground between the first and fourth parking lots seems better.
In the middle, there was a canal, and in the center, City Tower is under construction. Especially, the canal connected to the park has numerous cafes and restaurants, attracting many people on weekends.
If you consider dining during your park walk, parking at the second and third parking lots may be more convenient.
Beautiful flower beds are arranged throughout the park.
There is a sculpture, and in the evening, lights are said to come on at the top of the sculpture.
It is popular among families and couples for taking photos, especially beautiful at night.
There is a well-maintained viewpoint at the end of the reed forest.
And slightly south from the center is a large outdoor music hall. Various concerts and performances take place here on warm days.
Cheongna Lake Park’s outdoor performance venue and outdoor music hall are shown.
Cheongna Lake Park Urban Beach: Here is a sandy beach theme area, a beach created as a theme near the fourth parking lot. Unfortunately, it’s regrettable that there are no waves.
They are even creating wave pools nowadays…
If there were artificial waves, it would be nice.
After walking around, I took a rest here at Cheongna Lake Park’s Urban Beach. There are unique beds around the perimeter, designed to lie down comfortably.
It seems like a popular place in the summer.
Cheongna Lake Park is marked with points to note:
- There are a total of 4 parking lots around the lake.
- The playgrounds between the first and fourth parking lots are recommended. Especially, there is a large playground and a small zip line area in front of the fourth parking lot.
Cafes are near the first parking lot, and the filming location for ‘The Glory’ Baduk is also near the first parking lot.
