Skaters will love trying 10 more skate parks outside Seoul. These are the perfect way to combine your love of travel and boarding.
About Skating Outside Seoul
You would be surprised how many lovely skateparks criss-cross around Korea. There are skateparks from top to bottom and left to right. Almost everywhere we go has a place for us to put on our inline skates or grab our skateboards and have some fun!
Skateparks in South Korea may be more aggressive than you are used to riding. Many parks have no easy or middle-ground options. You better be ready to go! That doesn’t mean beginner can’t have fun. Just know your limits and wear your gear. We skate with many folks of varying levels and we all enjoy the parks in our own way.
Who can ride at skateparks?
South Korean outdoor skateparks tend to be mixed-use parks. That means roller skaters, skateboarders, inline skaters, BMX, and flip-scooters will all be at the same park. This also means every park isn’t optimized only for skateboards or only for inline skates. Instead, the parks are often a wide mix of things to play on.
What gear do I need to wear?
Most South Korean skateparks require you to wear a helmet and knee pads. It’s also smart to have wrist elbow guards just in case. Skateboarders, BMX, Rollerskaters, and inline skaters all need to wear protective gear. Some parks don’t make wrist guards mandatory because it’s too hard to wear them doing BMX, however, they really prefer if you wear them.
