Banpo Hangang Park Mat Rental: Prices, Methods, and Picnic Essentials Guide

Banpo Hangang Park is a popular destination in Seoul for enjoying leisure time by the Han River. A significant advantage for visitors is the ability to rent picnic essentials like mats, tables, chairs, and tents directly at the park, eliminating the need to carry heavy luggage.

Rental prices for picnic items vary by vendor and package. Basic mats typically range from 5,000 to 10,000 KRW, while picnic sets including tables and lighting can cost between 15,000 and 30,000 KRW. For two people, a basic setup with a mat, small table, and blanket is often sufficient, whereas groups of three to five might find a larger mat, table, and wagon set more convenient. Rental shops like "Hankangs" are located between the Express Bus Terminal and the park, offering text-based reservations and tent upgrades for review participants.

Local bloggers suggest packing Eastwood egg tarts from the Express Bus Terminal or enjoying the classic Han River combination of fried chicken and beer. Notably, as of 2026, Banpo Hangang Park operates two official delivery zones: one near the Moonlight Square under Banpo Bridge and another within Parking Lot 2, making food delivery convenient. Visitors are reminded to use tents and mats only on designated grassy areas and to be mindful of facility cleanliness and damage.
