168 Meters Round-Trip
Featuring Both Wet and Dry Walking Sections

Dobong-gu in Seoul will open the mud road built in Wolchun Neighborhood Park to residents starting May 4, 2026. The mud road spans a total of 168 meters round-trip (84 meters one-way) and is divided into two sections: a 64-meter wet section (32 meters one-way) and a 104-meter dry section (52 meters one-way). The main feature of this setup is that users can experience different walking environments according to their preferences.

In the wet section, 12 floor-spray cooling fog (mist bar) devices have been installed to keep the mud moist at all times. A canopy has been installed to prevent external debris such as soil, fallen leaves, and rainwater from entering, thereby improving maintenance efficiency. Handrails have also been added to prevent pedestrian safety accidents. In contrast, the dry section is designed so that visitors can feel the natural texture of the mud as it is.



An official from the district said, "We focused on enhancing the tactile sensation and functions of the mud to meet the growing demand for barefoot walking," adding, "We expect the mud road in Wolchun Neighborhood Park to become a healing space where people can experience nature in the city."
