Ttukseom Hangang Pool 2026 Guide: Dates, Hours, Night Swimming, Fees, and Access

Ttukseom Hangang Pool is one of Seoul’s 2026 Hangang Park summer water facilities, operating at 112 Jayang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, from June 19 to August 30, 2026. The official Seoul Hangang authority lists Ttukseom as an operating pool for the season and directs visitors to use Naver Map search and the reservation page for Ttukseom, Jamsil, and Gwangnaru bookings. ¹

For visitors planning a summer swim beside the Han River, the key details are straightforward: Ttukseom is open as part of a six-site Hangang program, it has regular daytime hours, and from July 3 it is included in the locations with evening operation until 10 p.m. ²

Ttukseom Hangang Pool 2026 Dates and Hours

Seoul opened six outdoor Hangang swimming and water-play facilities together on June 19, 2026. The operating sites are the Ttukseom and Yeouido swimming pools, plus the Jamsil, Gwangnaru, Nanji, and Yanghwa water-play areas. The season runs for 73 days through August 30, 2026. ²

The regular daytime schedule for Hangang Park swimming pools and water-play areas is 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. from June 19 to August 30, 2026. Seoul also announced night operation from July 3 to August 30, 2026, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. ³

That night schedule matters for Ttukseom visitors because the extended evening operation applies to four of the six sites from July 3, excluding Gwangnaru and Yanghwa. In practical terms, Ttukseom is among the places where evening swimming is available until 10 p.m. during the night-operation period. ²

The late opening is intended for people looking for cooler evening use during the hottest part of the season. In a YTN Radio interview carried by Daum, Yoo Hye-mi, parks department director at the Seoul Future Hangang Headquarters, said visitors can “enjoy night swimming and water play until 10 p.m.” ⁴

Because the published schedule separates daytime and night sessions, visitors should check the reservation page for the exact slot structure before choosing a time. The available source material confirms the season, the general hours, and the night-operation window, but it does not provide a detailed breakdown of individual session rules, entry caps, or refund terms.

Location, Subway Access, and Admission

Ttukseom Hangang Pool is located at 112 Jayang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. A Seoul citizen-reporter guide also describes the pool as about a five-minute walk from exits 2 and 3 of Jayang Station on Seoul Subway Line 7. ⁵

For many visitors, the subway route will be the simplest planning point: arrive at Jayang Station, use exits 2 or 3, and allow a short walk to the pool area. The source material does not provide parking details, so anyone driving should verify parking availability separately through official park or map information before departure.

Admission pricing is listed by pool category: adults 5,000 won, teenagers 4,000 won, and children 3,000 won. ⁵ These fees are specifically identified for swimming pools, which is relevant because Seoul’s 2026 Hangang summer program includes both full pools and separate water-play areas.

The distinction between “pool” and “water-play area” is also useful when comparing locations. In 2026, the two Hangang swimming pools are Ttukseom and Yeouido, while Jamsil, Gwangnaru, Yanghwa, and Nanji are operated as water-play areas. ⁵ If the priority is a swimming-pool visit rather than a splash-play facility, Ttukseom is one of the two named pool options in the program.

How to Reserve and What to Check Before Going

The Seoul Future Hangang Headquarters says reservations for Ttukseom, Jamsil, and Gwangnaru should be made by searching for the place on Naver Map and using the reservation page. ¹ For Ttukseom Hangang Pool, that means the most practical first step is to search the exact pool name in Naver Map and follow the linked booking flow rather than looking for a separate unofficial ticketing page.

Before booking, confirm three things from the reservation page: the date, the time slot, and whether the visit is for daytime or evening operation. The official materials confirm that the general season ends on August 30, 2026, so any booking plan should fall within that operating window. ¹

It is also worth noting which Hangang site is not operating as a regular pool in 2026. Jamwon Pool is not operating this year because of construction to create a nature-style water-play area. ⁶ That may increase interest in the other available sites, including Ttukseom and Yeouido, especially during weekends or hot evening periods.

The 2026 program follows a busy previous season: Yonhap reported that Hangang outdoor swimming pools and water-play areas drew 552,003 visitors the prior year, a 77 percent increase from the year before. ⁶ That figure is not a forecast for Ttukseom specifically, but it does suggest why checking reservations before going is a practical step.
