Looking for some skate ramps? Here are 10 places outside of Seoul to grind your day away. Don’t sit at home, grab your board and ride.
Is there any skateboarding outside of seoul?
Yes, of course! We have found ramps big and small from Gangwon-do to Geoje. Some of them we remembered to mark and others we did not. We try to always keep our boards and blades in the car on any trip so that we can take advantage of whatever parks we find.
What are skateparks like in Korea?
We have found parks to be quite different all over the country. Some are so scary we can’t even attempt them, others are perfect for any level, and some are run down and like skating on a haunted house.
The two most terrifying parks we found are in Incheon and Cheonan. Songdo Skate Park in Incheon is brutal and weather-worn. Cheonan Skate Park is made of metal ramps that drop onto concrete, terrifying. We have these on the list but we don’t recommend them. However, visit them once to be entertained.
Our favorite skate parks are Dongtan, Godeok, and Yongin. These locations are user-friendly and fun. We go to them often. Many families like the skate park in Sapgyoho but it gets too overrun by kids for us to feel comfortable skating.
