Olympic Park in Seoul is a large sports and public park complex in the Songpa district of southeastern Seoul, developed for the 1988 Summer Olympics. It contains multiple sports venues, open green spaces, and cultural facilities established for the Games.

The park includes stadiums and arenas that hosted athletics and ceremonies in 1988, alongside a dedicated sculpture and arts park, walking paths and landscaped areas used today for recreation and concerts. It is a common destination for exercise, cultural events and outdoor exhibitions.

Constructed in the mid- to late 1980s as part of Seoul’s Olympic preparations, the facilities have been adapted for ongoing public and private events while the grounds serve as a major urban green space. Several venues remain active for national and international competitions.

The park lies in southeastern Seoul near the Jamsil area and is accessible by Seoul public transit; it is within the Songpa-gu district and serves as a prominent green and cultural hub for the city.
